| Notes: | Alicia Carter This feature is being recorded as part of a plan to apply to have some walls removed in this part of the site in order to reveal the 11th century AD phase of a house for public display. This feature was revealed during excavations in 1961 recorded in NB 229 where it was misunderstood to be part of wall 5508. This feature is unusual in size to be a wall-it is only one course high and 1.00m wide where all surrounding walls are on average half that wide. Its length is at least 0.65m, but wall 5508 needs to be removed in order to see the whole of 10112. Because 10112 is built up against the southern continuation of wall 5473, I propose both were in use at the same time. At the time 10112 was in use, wall 5508 did not yet exist, so 10112 did not relate to other features to the north, east, and south. Its irregular size suggests a built surface or platform rather than a structrually supportive part of the house like a wall or pillar. Later notes (6-5-09 SG/WB): The decision was made to disassemble this structure, i.e.the parts of it which are not related to the east-west wall nor the intersecting north-south wall. This appears to be a structure added into this corner with large stairs on the outside with a cobble fill in the gap. The decision to remove it was based on the fact that it lay on top of a fill in the southern part of the courtyard. Underneath this structure was revealed a surface/fill composed of many small pebbles. | |
| AC (19-2-09) This feature is being recorded as a part of plan to apply to have some walls removed in this part of the site in order to reveal the 11th c AD phase of house for public display. This feature was revealed during excavations in 1961, recorded in NB229 where it was misunderstood to be a part of wall 5508. This feature is unusual in size to be a wall; it is only one course high and 1.00m. Wide where all surrounding walls are on average half that wide. Its length is at least 0.65m., but wall 5508 needs to be removed in order to see the whole of 10112. Because 10112 is built up against the southern continuation of wall 5473, I propose both were in use at the same time. At the time 10112 was in use, wall 5508 did not yet exist, so 10112 did not relate to other features to the N, E, & S. Its irregular size suggests a built surface or platform rather than a structurally supportive part of the house like a wall or a pillar. LATER NOTES (6-5-09 SG/WB): The decision was made to disassemble this structure, i.e. the parts of it which are not related to the E-W wall nor the intersecting N-S wall. This appears to be a structure added into this corner with large stones on the outside and a cobble fill in the gap. The decision was made to remove it was based on the fact that it lay on top of a fill in the southern part of the courtyard. Underneath this structure was revealed a surface/fill composed of many small pebbles. | ||
