Definition 2026-03-04 pC wall [Input: ZK304pC.j]
Description (summary) 2026-03-04 pC Wall w4 flanks the first 12 steps of ^apron2 for a length of 6.70 m and a width of between 0.78 m to 1.00 m, since the southern portion is narrower than the northern one. The six preserved courses are randomly set. They consist of large, medium and small-sized undressed stones, the joints are irregular and filled with mud mortar and small stones. The wall starts in the south with a large set oblique stone and in line with the western portion of the first step of ^apron1, which in this side consists of a patch of several medium to small stones, which are not in line with the front line of the rest of the step. The wall is built on top of a gentle slope with a gradient toward the south, so that the southern portion is 1.55 m high and the northern portion is 1.80 m high (there still should be a lower course, which has not been exposed yet). The first 7 steps of ^apron1 are lower than the wall, instead steps 8-12 are located on top of it. ^wall4 abuts the southern face of the revetment wall ^wall6. From step 13 to step 15 of ^apron1 there is no flank wall. [Input: ZK304pC.j]
