The stone pavement f57 is assumed to be an earlier construction based on the following evidence; the walls f38 and f46 are resting on the pavement, and secondly the pavement extends beyond the wall line. This suggests that the pavement was constructed first then the walls set on the pavement. To counter argue this point, wall f84 is deeper founded than the pavement, continuing for three courses deeper than the pavement. This wall f84 is associated with a1, the southern wall. The pavement f57 ends with the edge of the wall. This would argue for the wall, f84, as earlier than the pavement constructed, followed by the walls f46 and f38. If the wall f84 was constructed for a1 then the pavement is contemporary to all the walls however if f84 was a reused wall, then the pavement is later. [Input: S809LR.j] |
