JMR 13.8. 2008: Mudbrick wall defining the northern border of space 340 and 343. Wall 5050 is probably abutting 2428; 2413 seems to be binding into 2428. The corner with butress 5052 is disturbed, but probably they were biding into each other. 2428 runs parallel to 2429 and is separated from it by a thin layer of soil. The eastern part of 2428 was truncated by a pit (16823) and its continuation needs to be clarified through further excavation.
Wall 5074 is probably the contunuation of 2428 after the pit 15306, but the alignment of both feature is not quite exact.
Southern face covered by a thin layer of pale yellow plaster (17241).

JMR 22.8.2010: F.2428 is the northern limit of Space 340 in B.98. It consists of grey brick and yellow mortar - no bricks or mortar visible in plan. Southern face (in Sp.340) plastered.
2828 runs parallel to 2429 and is separated from it yb a gap of 5-7cm. Buttress F.5052 abuts 2428, there is a thin gap of 1cm in between them. Wall F.2413 probably as well. 3320 and 3335 might have cut the eastern part of 2428 - see sketch and discussion of F.5052.
The upper ca.35cm removed in 2010 to check stratigraphy. Height noted above is original height.

JMR 14.8.2011: After the 2011 season, the base of F.2428 was visible in Space 340 (points taken with the dumpy level):
