Finish of stones: A mix of rough faced and fair faced stones. Coursing: Random coursed with orthostate blocks placed between the random courses. Form: Wall. Direction of faces: E and W. Bonding material: Mud. Dimensions of masonry as found: 5.33x0.65x0.80. The removal of the wall proceeds in a N to S direction. Upon removal of the N part and at the point where wall 21 crosses over part of wall 23 it is noted that stones which actually belong to wall 23 were also incorporated into wall 21. The large orthostate blocks are temporarily placed to the S of room E and the rest of the smaller worked and field stones to the SW of room E. The largest of the orthostate blocks featured two cuts on one of its sides which were rectangular in shape and ca. 0.10 deep. A large amount of coins were found in the dirt that binded the wall. A mould was uncovered. It was left in situ in order to be removed in the next basket. However because it was missing some fragments, the pottery of this basket is also sent to the museum for cleaning. | |
