Context Number: | 1150 |
Description: | Outer wall along south-western end of House 1. |
Notes: | Robbed out exterior wall to House 1. This wall is the widest and most substantial foundation related to House 1 so far. It is unsure whether this is purely because it is an end wall with enormous bearing potential. New plans were made of this wall in 2002 - 2.47, 2.48 - these have not been digitised and have been filed away for information. In 2003, 1150 was completely removed. It is the most substantial wall related the SW House and is part of a single build with all the other walls of the SW House. Deepest of constructions because of the underpinning of the wall in order to prevent slumping which eventually did occur. Foundations get deeper as the wall moves NW. The wall is deepest at the junction with wall 1157. Section no: 369, 374, 489, 498 [ 01/01/2004] |
