Date: 5/8/1999 
Entry: On excavating more of 4190 in what was space 160 I realised that wall 401 steps down so that the base is lower at the southern end. Fill 4321 had been cut into on the eastern side of wall 401 in order to insert the extra layer of brick and mortar at this... click here for more...
