| Description: | The context shape in plan is rectrangular. The top break of the cut is sharp. The sides of the cut are vertical. The break at the base of the cut is sharp. The base of the cut is flat. Truncation: Truncated by baulk to W.. | |
| Notes: | See 684. 18 June 2013 In excavation this season, we determined that Cut 687 (and its fill 684) actually represent a robbing of wall 366 rather than a foundation. The better we understand phasing in this area - combined with the fact that there is no wall preserved here, this cut is quite a bit wider than the preserved stretch of the wall itself and extends beyond it to the south in line with wall 306, and the cut originated at a higher elevation than the occupational layers likely associated with wall 366 in the late 11th century - suggest to us that 687 should be understood as a robbing trench instead. We have identified a narrow strip of what does seem to be a foundation trench along the north side of wall 366 as Cut 1161; the soil deposit within it (1160) contained no pottery but did expose the bottom of the wall.
