Stratum:   45% pottery, small fragments of roof tile, fine-coarse subrounded pebbles
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light pinkish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   Deposit context 630 is a lens of fill east of the scarp 255.5 E and west of drain 426. It is cut to the north by the wall cut 272 and pit cut 629. This context is distinguished by its lower percentage of inclusions than other contexts, in particularly in comparison to the context immediately west of 630 (626), which had large chunks of roof tiles and cobbles. Like many other contexts in this area west of drain 426, this context is not associated with any walls, which suggests that this is an outdoor context. The removal of this context revealed a lens of fill similar to the fill revealed by the removal of 626 and 627.
