Full Description
The wall (005) was built of coursed stones, was 1.6m long and 0.6m wide and survived to three courses in height. It had a straight south end and at the north end it abutted a stub of rubble masonry (019). Feature 019 may be interpreted as a later phase infill to a possible opening in the original structure, whilst 005 is likely a post-medieval support wall. (1)
