Discussion: This was the southern wall of B 74 of W-E alignment located below the wall 13096. It consisted of two courses of the bricks. The upper course was oriented N-S, while the lower one- W-E. The preserved dimensions of the bricks are as follows (from the east):
upper course:

1. 0.72 x 0.40 x 0.09
2. 0.72 x 0.42 x 0.09
3. 0.60 x 0.42 x 0.10
4. 0.59 x 0.42 x 0.08
5. 0.66 x 0.45 x 0.13
6. 0.63 x 0.41 x 0.08
7. 0.70 x 0.45 x 0.09
8. 0.70 x 0.42 x 0.09
9. 0.63 x 0.42 x 0.09
10. 0.63 x 0.42 x 0.09
11. 0.64 x 0.40 x 0.08
12. 0.67 x 0.22 x 0.15

The bricks with number 7-12 were more reddish and clayish than the remaining ones.

Lower course:
1. 0.70 x 0.42 x 0.10
2. 0.80 x 0.49 x 0.07
3. 0.54 x 0.30 x 0.07
4. 0.74 x 0.36 x 0.06
5. 0.72 x 0.32 x 0.08
6. 0.76 x 0.54 x 0.07
7. 0.72 x 0.32 x 0.08
8. 0.96 x 0.41 x 0.08
9. 0.74 x 0.40 x 0.09
10. 0.74 x 0.21 x 0.10
11. 0.48 x 0.41 x 0.07

The wall was certainly older than the wall 13096 and older than the retaining wall (17674) and yet another wall (17673). This wall was the same as 17658 and 17659.
