Remarks

Remarks:

The pillar base appears to have slumped & its top surface has sloped 18 degrees at 035 degrees; these pillar bases seem to have served in conjunction with L 15 on which a surface may have existed, but for which there is no longer evidence; appears to form a row of pillar bases which slope down in a similar direction of 110 degrees, sloping downward at 3 degrees E; top is 9 cm above the straight line between 10 & 12
