Full Description

A wall foundation. This foundation is similar in composition to the foundation further west, being constructed of roughly squared and weathered sandstone blocks 70mm thick, laid roughly in a mid-brown silty sand matrix. This wall foundation was encountered at a depth of 0.55m bpgl and appears to run south-east/north-west. Overall it is wider than the foundation to the west, being approximately 1.4m in width at the base of the trench, narrowing to approximately 0.7m near its uppermost level. It is more similar to the sizes and orientation recorded in two other wall foundations.
