Full Record for Context Number 1160
| Context Number: | 1160 |
| Description: | Exterior wall of SW House |
| Notes: | In 2003, section 505 was put through wall 1160 towards the NE corner of the SW House. It is evident that wall 1160 is the same as wall 1746 with construction cut [4360] being the same as [4356]. It was noted that the cut of the wall followed the flints closely. Wall 1160/1746 runs from the SW corner of the house as footings being robbed by robber cut [4017]. Towards the NE corner it was robbed, but the robber cut is removed by Victorian trench [1558]. The wall forms the exterior wall of the SW House and is larger possibly to bear more load. Same phase as walls 1150 and 1162 as well as all of the other walls to the SW House. Strat below (3680). Removed completely in 2003. Section no: 505, 525, 496 |
| Composition: | 5 courses of wall foundation constructed from a mixture of knapped and faced flints - the largest measuring 0.18mx 0.17m and the smallest measuring 0.06m x 0.04m.
