Interpretation

Function Terrace wall; prob source of much of our tumble
Stratigraphy remarks The most major terrace wall, used with Walls 6, 14 & 19; was built after 14/19 7 at least one of 14/19's stones was removed to build 4; the stone was replaced by a large boulder; at juncture of walls, 4 has more courses & becomes Wall 46 perhaps to compensate for drop off caused by the original wall 14/19

Remarks

Remarks:

Cannot be sure about the preservation since we really don't know how high it might have originally been, but much thought has gone on due to the large amount of tumble in square; many large animanl bones & pieces of pottery found in/under wall; prob contamination from Surf 24
