Interpretation

Function:

Wall for storeroom

Stratigraphy remarks:

Seems to be earlier than Wall 5 at S end though some think a surface goes under it at the same level as Wall 5 where it joins Wall 5; S end of Wall 7 may have been cut by Pit 3; bonded to Wall 5; since it built on LIR2 Surf 36 & it was used on with cobble Surf 41 which was built over LIR2 Surf 36 & situated under LIR2 L 40, Wall 5 is LIR2 & hence so is 7
