Interpretation

Function:

Domestic wall; Walls 3 & 4, with an apparently massive mudbrick construction between them, may be part of the defense system

Stratigraphy remarks:

Appears to be contemp with & parallel to Wall 4; Could have had additional courses, but it was imposs to determine; stones overlying Wall 3 were removed as part of Tumble 2, because they were not articulated; appears to be a slightly later wall than 4, although probably used simultaneously
