A relatively horizontal layer of mixed sand and silt with an extremely hard surface in the NE corner of k33. To the east, it abuts the dressed stones which form f126, and which are approximately aligned with wall, f41. Although higher than the glacis, f74, to wall, f41, the hard surface led jW to initially conclude that this feature was a glacis to stone installation, f126. However, a detailed investigation by fAB, rE, and jW led to the conclusion that, considering the stratigraphy of the west baulk of k22 and k23 and the somewhat sandy texture of f122 which covered it, that f121 was a glacis-like feature formed by the action of water on sedimentation. We conclude that f121 is equal to natural accumulation, f124. [Input: S809JW.j] |
