Context Number: | 3638 |
Description: | Construction cut for 1150 |
Notes: | Wall 1150 was fully removed in 2003, exposing the full extent of construction cut [3638]. The cut was constructed in the same phases as all of the other cuts for the SW House. However, due to slumping in the area to the SW of the house, [3638] is considerably deeper as the wall was underpinned in an effort to avoid slumping. [3638] is deepest at the NW end where the slumping is greatest than at the SE presumably indicating evidence of the knowledge of wheere a slump was most likely to occur. As [3638] is the cut for an exterior, load-bearing wall, it is also wider than the cuts for the interior partition walls. Plan no: 2.28, 2.29 (2001 plans); 2.71, 2.72, 2.75 (2003 plans) Section no: 369, 374, 498 Section no: 369 & 374 |
Composition: | Linear in plan, measuring 0.6m wide at base with a depth of 1m Break of slope (base): Gently concave Sides: West side convex - East side concave Gently undulating base Contains 1150 |
