Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   414 is a hard light yellowish brown sandy silt with very few inclusions of ceramics and pebbles. It comes down upon a portion of the E-W wall 420 and a small pit that projects to the N - seen 1st in dep. 409.
Also revealed is more of the hard patch that now extends N of the E-W wall 420. Perhaps it had a stone on it - unrelated to this wall. More of the same soil but with tiles and not as comact is present and connects to the hard matrix. Both of these seem to sit atop the pit fill.
