Short Description:
orange clay rubbly layer beneath (2306) in slot against northern LOE of TR2W

Interpretation
-
- Orangey clay layer containing very frequent amounts of rubble that may relate to extremely disturbed remnants of large wall F723 just to the south. The rubble is of a very similar form to the stones within wall F723. But at this point, no obvious discernible continuation of wall F723 can be observed in the intervention into layer (2399) as of the 2022 season. However, there is a substantial build up of rubble here and the layer has not been fully excavated. Further work may or may not refine the outline of this wall's continuation.

- This material was fully excavated in 2023 revealing a foundation clay and crushed sandstone layer consistent with the foundation layers beneath walls F722 and F723
