Remarks:
Stones form semi-circular retaining installation on the N,E, & W of broken pithos in a corner formed on the N by a standing stone & on the W by the E face of Wall 11 (= Wall 7L09:3); the rim & likely the majority of the broken pithos was found in the soil in the bottom "intact" portion of the pithos; could there be a poss connection between this installation & the flat lying stone adjacent to it on other side of balk in 7L09 which had a hole bored through for possible use as a hitching stone?
