Interpretation

Function:

Reinforced previously existing wall W of it or to support a structure over Surf 27 which existing walls were too weak to support

Stratigraphy remarks:

Built on Surf 27; Surf 18 sealed against it; earlier than Wall 4 & later than Wall 25; also later than Walls 5 & 7; Surf 41 may be the same as 27; certainly fits the same function as above; since 26 was built on 41, which is LIR2, & is sealed against by Surf 40, which is LIR2, 26 must be LIR2 as well
