Interpretation

- This almost pure clay material was likely laid down within a construction cut just before the stone lined channel 2433 was built. It was visible extending approximately 15cm either side of the channel and more than likely continues beneath it too. It is probable this clay represents a waterproofing seal to ensure that water drained smoothly through the channel and didn't excessively leak out.
