Wall that proved more complex in plan than it appeared in section. After removal of upper courses as [1552] and [1554] a complex layering of white and red bricks of unusula wall-section (see sketch) was evident in S part of Wall while grey/brown bricks continued to N & into N section. A gap between these 2 sections appeared to have been blocked by 2 courses of small bricks and a wodge of mortar.
See individual unit sheets for detailed description.
Discussion:
3 detailed sketches with description on Feature sheet.
1562 removed to S of section revealed that 1560 is essentially built on different levels E and W and that unlike 1562 it doesn't reach slot filled by 1558 + 1556 but instead 1565 mortar fills the gap.
This is best explained either as indicating the making-up and levelling of slumped brick courses or the filling-in of some kind of niche. The careful juxtaposition of red and white bricks 1562 + 1560 suggests a deliberate effect but the E face was subsequently blocked off by the construction of parallel wall 56. |
