- In L9/3 at the altitude of 4,16 m, appearance of a limit very clear to the east of the quadrant and at 1,40 m from the northern baulk (cf opposite). Orange material denser to the north. Fill at the south less homogeneous.

- In L9/2: fragments of bricks not in place (or brick-type material) in the SE part -> collapse ? No clear limit. Altitude top: 4 m ~. (cf. opposite) At the same altitude, loose zone with numerous gravel, which suggests run-off => the whole SE part of the quadrant suggests a washed-out collapse -
