Short Description:
Light yellow crushed sandstone layer - possible foundation surface upon which F725 is constructed
Issued to
Ben Swain | 30/09/2022

Interpretation

    • This crushed yellowish sandstone layer likely represents a pre-construction foundation/levelling layer upon which the stone foundations of possible wall 2402 are set, connected with a possible pre-monastic structure in the NE area of TR2W. This probable levelling layer of crushed yellow sandstone was encountered directly beneath the foundations of all the walls observed in interventions in the NE part of TR2W.
