Description:   The context shape in plan is circular. The top break of the cut is sharp. The sides of the cut are mixed.
Notes:   6635 is the cut for the construction of well 6288. The fill inside the cut was excavated as 6636. The entirelty of this cut was not found. As of these notes, we only have the cut starting at the SW and going east around to the NE, approximately half. The north and northwest part were not found due to disturbance from the 1960s scarp and in the west, the cut was not investigated due to the presence of the staircase. The level of where the cut was observed s approx 30 cm beow the bottom of the steps and we are not removing the stairs.
The fill inside the cut was excavated as ar as we could. This meant only to a depth of about 5 cm in the SW to approx 30 cm in the NE.
The top of the cut is sharp fro the most part, with vertical to slightly sloping sides. The sides and the top of the cut also vary in their distances for the well construction. Again, approx 5cm in the SW, 10 cm in the S, 25 cm in the NE
