Western wall of space 117.
(1999 update), Wall running N-S at western end space 117, building 2. Comprised of mostly dark-brown/grey bricks and some layers of lighter brown bricks. Very thick white mortar. Wall was very tough with the bricks and mortar stuck together very firmly and very dense compact clayey brick and mortar. Has two types of brick - mostly comprised of dark-grey-brown brick 4418, with a few bands of orangely-mid-brown brick 4421.
The wall has been cut at its southern edge by the insertion of wall….. The northernmost part could not be drawn in plan with the rest of this wall as it wasn't possible to take it all down to the same level due to sandbags supporting the north wall of building 2. |
