Only one course of this wall surviving.
F.2814 is next to wall F.2813 and has been defined by excavator as a "double wall" laying directly below another "double wall" F.2806 and F.2807. See below for more info. (BT 28/04/09)
From Archive Report 2007:
The western wall, F.2813, was constructed with very firm, light yellowish brown, sandy silt mudbricks (15077) (measuring 1.0m x 0.40m x 80mm) and firm, light brownish grey, sandy silt mortar (15078) (measuring 20mm thick). The eastern wall, F.2814, was constructed using very firm, light yellowish brown, sandy silt mudbricks (15079) (measuring up to c.80mm thick but undeterminable length and width) and firm, light brownish grey, sandy silt mortar (15080) (measuring up to c.20mm thick). To account for the different lengths of the wall – one extending across the length of the trench and the other only extending 1.0m from the northern L.O.E I ‘created’ a second construction cut, (15449), with the assumption that this cut/truncated the lower wall for the construction of the upper. It is also possible, and I feel now more likely, that the upper and lower courses represent only one ‘double wall’, not two, where the foundation was stepped. | | | | In situ Conservation: No | | Lifted: No | | | | Feature Relationships: | | above: (Click to view the record) 2820, 2821 | | adjacent to: (Click to view the record) 2813 | | below: (Click to view the record) 2806, 2807 | | | | Number of Related Diary Entries: 0 | | Conservation Recorded: No | | Related Photos: 2 (Opens as a group in a new window) | Buildings:
