Unit 1686

Category: layer    dug in 1996

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: brick and mortar,wall 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: brick&mortar; Deposition: heterogeneous

Description: Description contain brick // mortar 

Discussion: Removal of first few courses of bricks and mortar to minimise damage from subsidence over next year. The bricks and mortar separated easily, suggesting the bricks were dried previous to construction. The fill to the south was dense in bone fragments and sieved separately. At the level at which we finished, a layer of plaster was revealed on the North facing surface of the wall to the south [73] suggesting this predated wall [76]
