a 32
dy In the N wall, there appears to be a stepping down of stones between the wall of a32 and the stone and brick apron f354.  This is because we are interpreting the stone apron and the stone circle f353 as an earlier structure, underneath a32.  Also, in terms of the overall layout of a32, the walls of the apsidal structure curve in slightly towards the circle before following its curve back out, similar to a keyhole.

-dy Today, in order to take relays within k27 (we are too far down to see over the mud ledge and to use the second marker), we created two new markers, mA and mB.  For mA, we dropped a plumb bob from m5063 on the stones above and placed a marker peg at the bottom.  For mB, we lowered the plumb bob from m2338.  The elevation of mA is m5063-421cm, the elevation for mB is m2338-203cm.  For relays from mA, I will use the coordinates of m5063, and for marker B I will continue using m2338, but with that elevation difference figured in.

f 352
ds This is the line of stones running beneath f326, the mud ledge.  It is approximately 30cm below the level of the first floor in k26, which explains a great deal about the mud ledge.  It existed because there was a step down from k26 into k27, which we also anticipated because of settling in the circle.  The E side (inside) of the wall was always the smooth face because it was the only side that was ever exposed: the other side pressed up against the floor accumulation.  As the internal ^aa rose, this imbalance was preserved, and since layers were pressed against existing layers, would seem to slope slowly inward if viewed over its whole history, as we have viewed it.
