Short Description:
Cut of a linear feature, possible wall foundation trench, near NE corner of TR2W
Issued to

Interpretation

    • As of the 2022 season this feature has yet to be fully understood, but may possibly represent a foundation trench for a wall which is no longer extant. The cut is linear, very sharp and runs approx perpendicular from the eastern LOE of TR2W before returning sharply to the south. It cuts as deep as the yellowish crushed sandstone levelling layer visible below the walls across much of this part of the trench and, combined with its proximity to other walls in the vicinity such as F723 and F725, may suggest this feature was itself also the foundation for a wall. At this point though, much of this is speculation as so little of the feature is visible within the LOE of TR2W.
