Remarks:
Rectangular mortar set into Surf 15; braced on 3 sidesa (W, N, E) by a series of small flat cobbles (which are also set into Surf 15); those on the S may have been removed during excavation, though there are no traces; if nothing was removed, we might infer that users worked the mortar from the S
