Discussion: probbale wall collapse or demolition of south wall within space 135 this included a corsed wall collapse which appeared to be plastered on both faces. The wall collapse was oriented e/w and 8 or possibly 9 brick courses could be discerened. The bricks where not burnt were a lıght grey brown and very sandy in texture and measured 0.10m thick. The mortar was a lighter yellow brown and was up to 4cm thick. A burnt carbonised beam was noted at the north running through the collapse and the wall appreared to be burnt on the south and north. A serıes of collpsed floors aslo appeared to be attached to the wall at the West (these lipping up to the brick coursing. This consisted of up to 13 plastering events (14cm thick) with make up layers between the plaster was up to 3mm thick and the yellower/brown make up up to 5mm thick.
