Text description of view 2010-08-12 jW This sub-view shows that, unlike revetment wall, f41, which abuts the stones of ^esc1, the eastern part of the EDIII revetment wall, f189, does not abut the escarpment. There is a gap, illustrated by the test probe, f287, between the two, which suggests that the wall and the escarpment were built at different times at a different alignment. In addition, the row of stones, f284, below f189 suggests that it was built along the line of an earlier wall, perhaps of the Late Chalcolithic period. Also significant is that the bottom of f189 seen here is considerably higher than that found farther to the east in J1. The tops are more or less at the same elevation. [Input: U812JW.j]
