F. 1454 was initially associated with the odd "half-arch" construction (U. 8874). Trying to figure out what it is like, I removed one course of bricks. It became clear that this is a wall running in N-S direction. It is not completely excavated, so few things can be said about it.
Most probably it forms the W boundary of sp. 243. The wall was truncated by F. 1455 (L. Roman burial), which provided a section of F. 1454. 4 or 5 courses of bricks are visible in the this section. The bricks are made of brown sandy clay, they are 70 x 40 x 8 cm and are bonded with grey mortar.
Another two courses of bricks abutted F. 1454 to the E. Initially we thiught it is a double wall but after excavating F. 1455, which provided a nice section, it appears that the E row of bricks is not a part of a wall but it is some kind of a construction. A platform or a bench probably abutts F. 1454 (visible in the section).
It seems that F. 1454 runs below F. 1462.
NB! Yet we should have in mind that it could be a double wall.
