Curvy pseudo-wall made from packing rather than bricks. Appears to have been made to hold back midden material enchroaching from Sp. 241. It has a very uneven shape on its western side where it abuts the midden, but was much more carefully formed on its northern return where it was built up against a much larger earlier wall (1608). The NE end of its north side has been truncated. The southern return of the wall and the SW corner is formed as a square corner and has been packed out to make it into a curve.
The wall appears to be made from mixed building debris compacted into an uneven layer, which is only <0.3m thick in the western side. Despite the uneven nature of the structure it is plastered on the inside. Below it is visible another even more vertical surface which may represent an earlier phase of the same midden retainer - it is as yet unexcavated.
It is unclear from the fill whether the area within the walls was in use as an area of habitation, or whether it had some other pupose - no floor surfaces have been found. |
