Surface or support for a surface

Stratigraphy remarks:

May be in same phase as Surfs 18 or 27; part of 18 is directly over mudbrick destruction as is 16; but 18 goes under Wall 4 & 16 seals against Wall 5; there is some suggestion that Walls 4 & 5 are in same phase making 16 later than 18; 16 & 27 may be more in phase
