Stratum:   light yellowish brown soil with <10% inclusion of pebbles
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. Bottom slope of the context is level. The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   A cluster of stones was visable after B176 and not in clear allignment with the N-S wall at c. 269E. After the removal of a small qualtity of fill, what appeared to be a finished wall face at the northeast edge of the cluster of stones oriented toward the northeast and perhaps curving toward the west. Further excavation in the area should reveal whether this cluster of stones is an element of a curved wall (apse?) linking the N-S wall at c. 269E and the N-S wall at c. 266E.
