Interpretation

Function Apparently sheetwash and/or brick detritus, prob including tumble, thus consisting of a wedge of hard bricky material which became thicker toward the W; the brick detritus was not consistent , containing pockets of softer soil & rocks up to small boulders in size forming a distinguishable layer over the regular brick detritus of L 5
Stratigraphy remarks Irregular in thickness but seems to have originated from washed out material of L 5 higher up the slope; enclosed by the materials of L 3 & 5
