Description:   Structure materials: Limestone and tile. Material size: Average size of blocks: L 0.40m W 0.25m H 0.25m. Material finish: Squared, but see Notes. Material construction: Squared, built to course. Material bonding: None. Features: Indentation at the south.
Notes:   The wall is the structure placed in cut 5236, which wsa filled by deposits 5221 and 5235. For this structure sheet, we are only discussing and measuring the wall as far south as 1020.20N (where there is an indentation in the wall) even though it extends farther south than our area, where it is partially concealed by dirt. The masonry is squared, built to courses, although a couple of more irregular stones may have been randomly set at the wall's highest point. This wall is extremely close to Wall 5216, but does not touch it. At the south end that we measured, the wall is idented. It may have been attached to Wall 5215 there at some point, although the two walls are now separated and pit fill (Context 5171) has been removed from north of Wall 5215. This pit extended east in part to the scarp separating these two walls.
This was was identified as the west all of the room North of room F in 2007. It may also have been taken as pat of what we are calling Wall 5284 in the 1960s. They referred to this as Wall 39, as NB. 229, p. 188.
Related contexts: Wall 5218 wsa the east wall of a space aso enclosed by walls 5215 and 5216, but their dated relationship is not entirely clear. Otherwise, Wall 5218 was built in Cut 5236, which was filled by Deposits 5221 and 5235. A small deposit (5222) was situated on top of 5221, beside the wall.
