| Description: | Structure materials: cobbles, conglomerate, marl, some tile. Material size: max. 0.61 x 0.47 x 0.08; avg. 0.27 x 0.17 x 0.08. Material finish: roughly worked, unworked. Material construction: random courses. Material bonding: none. Features: none. | |
| Notes: | Structure 6820 is a stone feature of unknown function. It is possibly a Western continuation of EW wall 6764, but the absence of stones between the Western terminus of wall 6764 and feature 6820 complicates this hypothesis. It is also possible that the Southern portion of NS wall 6789 is related to EW wall 6764 and stone feature 6820. More excavation around these walls is necessary before we can understand the nature of the stone feature. 7/6/10 (JB): We are removing the west and north parts of this structure because JH thinks that they are actually later than the wall underneath. The larger stone on the east will remain in situ. | |
