2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-07-31 jW The first of five layers of soil and pebbles, seen in section, which abut the east side of the capstones, f192, to revetment wall, f3, then extend into the east baulk of k22. It does not cover the top of that wall. It is impossible to tell at this point whether it is natural accumulation which built up against the highest line of stones (perhaps memory stones), whether it is part of a late mud glacis or whether it is fill placed behind the wall during construction.
