Interpretation

Function:

Blocked passageway between Walls 4 & 7

Stratigraphy remarks:

When Wall 4 was built next to Wall 26, a passageway was formed between Walls 4 & 7; this was then blocked by Wall 39 which abuts both 4 & 7 & is over the cobbled surface with Wall 7; pottery within the Wall is IR2 & as it abuts two LIR2 walls & is over a LIR2 surface, the date is LIR2
