Opening within wall feature 57 on N-S alignment. Top N-S dimension 0.66m, basal 0.65 m, the opening is slightly askew so although the top & basal dimensions almost the same, the sides are not 'vertical'. The width at top is 0.28m to north & 80 mm to south & base 0.27 to north x 0.17 m to south but these measurements reflect the erosion process & it is more likely that the width would have reflected that of the wall at the base, approx 0.40 m. Max depth to north 0.19 m x to south ca. 50 mm.
The S side of opening is very gradually sloping to ca. 70-80 degrees to the North, & the north side falls as an overhang ca. 70-80 degrees. The basal break was approx 90 degrees at the base irregular with a gradual fall from east to west. The sides are smooth but no obvious preparation to levelling to the base.
Discussion:
Opening in N-S alignment wall 57 in spaces 106 to east and 107 to west. At some phase, the two spaces were interlinked, what the opening represents is uncertain, it is very unlike opening 55 in space 107 and 108 in size and treatment. This could be a crawl hole but it appears quite high from the wall base ca 0.40m to the west & ca. 0.50 m from the east face. As we don't know the height of the floors in space 106 neither in 107 (check in DB). One possibility is that it represents a window. |
