Interpretation

Function One wall of the 3-sided domestic structure formed by Walls 5, 7 & 8; Wall 7A is of different construction than 7B, & as Wall 7 is the only wall with more than one row of stones, 7A must be a different (later) phase; it is poss that this was in fact not a wall, but a bench of some sort incorporated into the S Wall (7B), in which case they would probably be of the same phase
Stratigraphy remarks Wall 7A (& L 24 directly beneath it) sits on top of EB Surf 23, but is sealed against by L 22, placing it between EB & MB2 or Iron Age; the E end is bonded to Wall 8; it is here that some problems arise regarding the separation of Walls 7A & B; see locus sheet 7B for discussion

Remarks

Remarks:

7A is of a completely different construction than 7B, & although some stones of 7A's E end are beneath stones of 7B, 7A must be later; the problem is discussed on the reverse
