Unit 4383

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: fill/packing 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: foundation cut; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 3.8m n-s, 0.24 to 0.58m w-e, 0.04 to 0.16m thick 

Discussion: Fill lying between/under/over various walls. Hard to define/excavate and patches may have been tops of badly eroded walls.

**although there was no physical evidence of this, this deposit has been interpreted as constructional infilling within a foundation fill cut on the basis of the sequence excavated further south where the evidence did survive (see cut 4396 and discussions of wall 401 to the south) (sf 2001)
