Interpretation
-
- Chalk mortar render used as a levelling layer and building platform after the destruction of the earlier phase of building of the abbey - overlies earlier floor surfaces and structures (26017), [26018]. Also probably same as (26011) however this is truncated by [26009] so direct relationships with these surfaces are lost.
