Context Number: | 4601 |
Description: | Insertion/repair in second course of wall of Room 3 |
Notes: | This course is in the second course on the wall of Room 3, below 1533. This context is approximately in the middle of the wall and appears to be made up of different flint. It is on a different alignment to the flints to the south west of it. It is possibly a later insertion between two other parts of this second course - 4602. N.B. There was approximately 5cm of bonding material between (4601) and the course below which is different to 4602 which initially rested on the course below. Strat above and butts 4602. Completely removed in 2003 Plan no: 15.125 Section no: 345 Accuracy rating - 3 |
