| Description: | Structure materials: limestone and tile. Material size: 0.50 x 0.25. Material finish: roughly hewn. | |
| Notes: | Wall 332 is a limestone boulder and tile wall which runs at present N-S between walls 366 and 365. Only one course of the wall is revealed, so little can be said about the masonry style. However, in the southern half of the visible stretch, there are no large boulders, but flat lying tiles. The abrupt change in materials may indicate a break in the superstructure of the wall, perhaps a doorway, or simply a string course of tiles. The floor surface immediately east of the wall at this point does not run up to the tile and reached the simple square stone at the souther end of the visible stretch of the wall. This may support the doorway. Notes cont. (30/5/08 JR): More of the line of this wall seems to have been revealed upon removal of floor 374. This wall, or at least this stretch of wall 332, therefore predates floor 374. | |
