- In previous seasons it was thought to be a stone lining for the burial above the box. After the burial was removed the box could be seen and in 2021 this was excavated. The purpose of the box is unclear, the thick clay layer at the base could be to waterproof the box, or it could have supported a wooden cross, or had a burial that was later removed, or something else
