Notes:   7059 is a drain or channel (?). It consists of 2 large squared limestone blocks and several courses of ceramic and tile. The interior surfaces of the large stones have traces of cement. The stones noted on the top plan as already excavated are, clearly, no longer visible. The eastern stone has a .11 x .10m rectangular cutting on the base. On the western stone on the base is a rectangular cutting .05 x.11 m and open to the north. PK has revealed areas of dark ash
We have discovered that in 2008 they excavated a part of this structure as 5456. We have taken out a new structure number (7059) to clarify matters.
