Interpretation

Function:

Cobbled floor of a domestic room

Stratigraphy remarks:

Wall 25 was S wall & Wall 7 was E wall; Wall 25 was in use earlier but as both 41 & Wall 7 are over 36, it seems they were built as part of one project; Pillar Base 44 is in the middle of 41; since it has a special FT, 46, the fill of which, 45, was under parts of 41, it seems Pillar Base 44 was placed first, then 41 laid around it; pottery from 41 is IR, but as it is over a LIR2 surface (36), the date is obviously also LIR2
