Interpretation

Function Relatively loose layer sealing against & running under Installation 14; prob accumulated or was deposited after the stone installation became idle; the soil is found within the oval-shaped bedrock indention & covers bedrock
Stratigraphy remarks Under Surf 13 & Installation 14 & also seals against Installation 14; indicates that it accumulated after the stones of Installation 14; though a small amount runs under Installation 14, this does not mean that 15 has an earlier date because the stones were not sealed & soil could have fallen through; covers bedrock in Loca 16 & 17 & seals against it where bedrock slopes up
