Interpretation
Function:
Soil that Wall 5 may have been battered against
Stratigraphy remarks:
Suddenly it is LB, after getting below the soil that was loose & dark in places above in L 7 & 9; sealed by & may well have been here before Wall 5; Wall 5 does fit snugly into this L, & indeed, some of its stones seem to overhang; it's difficult to tell, for some stones also seemed to overhang L 7 & 9
