Short Description:
Yellowish crushed sandstone levelling/foundation layer beneath partition wall 2346
Issued to
Elizabeth Tutty | 16/09/2022

Interpretation

    • This crushed yellowish sandstone layer likely represents a pre-construction foundation/levelling layer within which the stone foundation supports of partition wall 2346 are set, connected with a possible pre-monastic structure in the NE area of TR2W. It lies directly atop another more orangey crushed sandstone layer (2431) that likely represents an initial levelling/foundation deposit. This common sequence of crushed yellow sandstone atop crushed orange sandstone layers was observed in all the interventions beneath the walls in the NE part of TR2W
