Description:   Structure materials: limestone, tile, rubble. Material size: avg. 0.43 x 0.60m. Material finish: rough. Material construction: orthostates with rubble and tile. Material bonding: cement. Features: robbed out through middle stretch.
Notes:   Structure 20 is the N wall of the church nave, preserved in stretches to the E and W with a robbing trench between. Only the W stretch and part of the robbing trench fall within the current excavation area. This wall was previously excavated during the 1990 field season, when it was referred to as Wall 10 (W stretch: see NB 835, Basket 16, pp. 34-5; E stretch: see NB 829, Basket 117, p. 162, Basket 94, pp. 134-5; robbing trench: see NB 835, Basket 18, pp. 37-8, Basket 22, pp. 43-4, and NB 829, Basket 96, p. 137). This structure has not been fully excavated because work inside the church is ongoing, so no bottom elevation can be supplied.
The total length of the wall prior to robbing activity is 7.45m including the E and W stretches and the robbing trench. The W stretch of the wall is 1.36m long and 0.59m wide, and bonds with the narthex crosswall (Structure 21) at the SW. The E stretch is 1.66m long and 0.76m wide, and bonds with the E wall of the church at its SE end. The wall was constructred using roughly faced limestone with irregular courses of rubble and tile, and bonded with cement.
