FT 08
Founded directly on the walls (F.2813 and F.2814) described above was another ‘double wall’, again aligned in a N-S orientation but slightly more to the west, running trough the centre of the trench. The western wall F.2806 stood six courses high where its western face was slightly battered. The bricks (15042) used to construct F.2806 measured 1.8m x 0.30m x 90mm and were made from very firm, light yellowish brown sandy silt. The corresponding mortar (15043) was a very firm/compact, light brownish grey, sandy silt up to 30mm thick. The bricks (15044) used in the eastern wall F.2807 were of the same fabric as (15042) but were slightly smaller. Again, the mortar (15045) used in this wall was the same as that used in the western wall F.2806. The eastern wall F.2807 did not stand as high with only four and a half courses surviving.
FT 09
Constructed over this roomfill was double wall F.2806 and F. 2807, which was visible in the section of FT 8. The walls ended at the same level, thus, with the small view of them in the trench, the stratigraphic relation was hard to tell. The western wall F.2806 turned to the east, while it is hard to tell what happened with the eastern wall F.2807. The bricks (15463) of wall F.2806 were a similar shade (orange-brown) and texture (firm clay) as the bricks (15461) in wall F.2807. The mortar (15464) of wall F.2806 was a similar shade (a light grayish brown) and texture (clayey) as the mortar (15462) in wall F.2807. Both walls were 0.35m in height, and had 4 coursings of brick. The fill on the other side of wall F.2807 was not given a unit number as that there was only a sliver of it exposed in the foundation trench. There was no fill between walls. | | | | In situ Conservation: No | | Lifted: No | | | | Number of Related Diary Entries: 1 | | | | Conservation Recorded: No | | Related Photos: 7 (Opens as a group in a new window) | Buildings:
