Remarks:

The distribution of the stones is patterned in that there is definite layering as well as a "loose" boulder and chink formation; it appears as though the W end of Wall 4, making a 50 cm doorway between it & Wall 6, collapsed and was rebuilt; the rebuild appears to be of a poorer quality than the rest of Wall 4 ( that is, the rebuild is less solid & not as squared as the rest); some of what appeared to be blockage was really part of E end of Wall 4; Slumping of Wall 6 to E seems to have closed the doorway down to 25 cm, poss occasioning the blockage
