Context Number: | 2004 |
Description: | Robbed out flint wall in Room 4 of house 1. |
Notes: | The wall is of a uniform nature with 4 courses as seen throughout House 1 in walls such as 1152 and 2124. In 2003, wall 2004 was revealed to be the partition wall between the NE room of the SW square house (formerly known as 4B) and the corridor to the SW of it. Same build as 1152 and 1158 and in fact, all the other walls of the square flint phase. The build is more narrow than the external walls and main interior load-bearing 1163, but shares the same depth and principles with small nodule footings for the bottom course. Not much mortar surviving, having degraded into sandy loam and gravel ballast. Not enough mortar to be sampled. Strat below (1788), (3678) and (4354). Strat above [4355]. Completely removed in 2003. Plan number 11.17 Section no: 500 |
