Description:		The context shape in plan is circular. 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.
Notes:		The cut is associate with the fill of deposit 92. The cut is clearly defined by its hard edges on the side. It comes to a very flat surface on the bottom and does not cut this surface, it seems. The eastern part of the cut runs into stones which appear to be associated with the wall popping out of the north scarp (structure 135). Since only one large strone (0.15x0.15m) was in the pit, we associate the cut with a robbing event. Stone are also missing on the southern portion of the cut where we would expect to see a continuation of Structure 110. The soil surrounding the cut on the north, west, and south side is a very pure yellow clay. Given the rubble in the area, we associate these surrounding layers with clay melt from a superstructure.
