Very difficult to examine because of large amount of bioturbation & varied debris; along walls was tumble from the walls; consists of cobbles with a few small boulders; varied colors with bricks, some from Wall 9 falling to E (see sub-balk drawings) bottom was determined by high numbers of cobbles, but no change in earth
