| Description: | Building demolition rubble |
| Notes: | This deposit could represent flint rubble from the demolition of the south wall of the link room OR it could be a consolidation layer on top of beam slot [5420]. It is possible that this deposit was laid down before clay levelling layer (4572) to prevent subsidence potentially affecting any later construction. However, little evidence for a wall built on top of (4572) remains and it seems odd to speculate that a wall might have been built on top of a deposit instead of within a construction cut. Nevertheless, no cut for a southern wall to the link room appears to exist during this phase of rebuilding. It has been decided that this deposit is rubble rather than a structure due to the lack of any ordered structure or bonding material. Strat below (4572). Strat above (4636). Not excavated in 2003.
