Definition 2026-03-04 pC wall [Input: ZK304pC.j]
Description (summary) 2026-03-04 pC ^wall9 is set perpendicular to ^wall11 and on top of ^wall6. The upper course is at the same level of ^wall6. It runs to the north-east and continues for 2.50 m until it disappears under the topsoil. Only the upper two courses of the wall are exposed and therefore it is not possible to understand its construction and function. It is built of large, medium rough stones with small stones and mud mortar located between the joints. The wall is 2 stones wide in the northern portion, whereas in the southern portion, where it joins ^wall11 it is 4-5 stones wide. [Input: ZK304pC.j]
