Definition 2026-03-04 pC wall [Input: ZK304pC.j]
Description (summary) 2026-03-04 pC The northern side of ^stair4 is flanked by ^wall16. It measures 8.73 m in length and about 1 m in width. The wall is east-west oriented, and starts directly north of step 3 of ^stair4, flanking it up to step 5 and continuing to the east. It bounds a flat area in the south, where other small stone structures and walls are located. The wall is not exposed for all its length and height: it is 1 to 2 stones high, built of rough stones and the joints are filled with mud. The wall is bonded to the stair: the first two steps in the western northern side are also the western beginning of the wall. [Input: ZK304pC.j]
