The east limit seems bordered by 312, a loose fill bordered by wall 311 to the east. This trench may be related to wall 313, a north-south wall the foundation of which was found at the bottom of 308 and seems in line with the end of this trench.
The deposit comes down upon a yellowish layer.
It seems to go beneath part of the north-south wall 316, under one big stone, but there are more stones visible coming out of the south baulk.
