Interpretation

Function:

Additional LIR2 fill layer; poss well clean-out at the top 5 cm, but remaining material seems to have been deposited over time; since there was no surface found at the bottom of the Walls 9 & 11 nor FTs it is doubtful that the locus was used for domestic purposes

Stratigraphy remarks:

Almost entirely LIR2 with a few EB sherds
