Discussion: This red-orange mudbrick construction was the last layer of a disturbed burial above it. It was clearly defined except for the eastern section, which may have had a large disturbance east of the area causing this lack of clarity. The joint/gap between a few of the mudbricks was defined. This is from a late period burial. There were a few animal burrows going through the bricks. Once the bricks were removed, it was clear that the burial construction was cut directly on top of a wall feature (south) for sp. 454 (and f. 3331 late pit feature).
