General Information

Locus Type Architecture
Supervisor J. Fisher
Designation Ephemeral wall in NW
Reason Stones in a line
Top Separation Very Clear
Bottom Separation Average
Start Date 29 June, 1987
End Date 9 July, 1987

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
