General Information
Locus Type:
Architecture
Supervisor:
J. Fisher
Designation:
Ephemeral wall in NW
Reason:
Stones in a line

Very Clear
Bottom Separation:
Average
Start Date:
29 Jun, 1987
End Date:

Interpretation
Function:
The lack of a foundation & rather haphazard construction seem to indicate use as a terrace wall
Stratigraphy remarks:
Since it was found to be sitting on surf 8, it is later; Surf 8 seals against Wall 3 (at its upper courses); thus Wall 4 is later than surf 8 which in turn is later than Wall 3

Remarks:
Rather well-hewn stone, but incomplete state of preservation along with associated tumble make it difficult to determine original extent of the actual wall structure; ie number of courses, etc; stones #1-4 of top plan later shown to be tumble
