Full Record for Context Number 1583
| Context Number: | 1583 |
| Description: | Flint wall |
| Notes: | Flint wall - three courses in places with foundations more extensive than rest of the wall. Initially thought to be a repair to wall 1015, but was re-interpreted in 2001. It was found that part of wall 1583 was actually part 1015. This leaves part of 1583 as a section of wall (same as 1168 but truncated by feature west of Room 3). Plans have been altered accordingly. In 2003, the flints were removed leaving large limestone. It is now seen as southern extension of flint foundation into link room. It is mirrored on the southern side of the link room by a single course of flints overlying earlier link room floor surface. Western wall of flint phase room truncated by late Roman activity (CB 2003). Section no: 86 |
| Composition: | 3 courses of a wall of roughly faced large flints, most of which measure over 200mm in width Bonded by gravelly soil (5Y 5/1 grey) (S-R) ranging in size from 2mm to 6cm Quite clear edge definition. |
