Removed same area but east of early wall only 2529-3, loose reddish brown soil with many stones averaging [fraction: 1/2] foot size to egg size, a great many - some of them may once have belonged to early wall xm which appears to be partly demolished on east side where there is no proper face.

No tiles. From sieve handful of sherds & coin F 1641. 5 figurine frags. in sherd bag (not sieve). No other finds. Removed corridor 4, 2517-3, 0.27-1.07 m. s. of n. wall, light reddish fairly compact soil 2 or 3 stones about foot size but others not larger than egg size, few only. 5 small sherds only - 1 ribbed sherd found in water conduit. See Film 151-25. Very odd that ribbed sherd should be found here. The conduit went out of use when north wall of building was constructed in 101 A.D. It could hardly have remained uncovered after that date but would have been filled up to a level at least as high as the top of the conduit. A floor was found here consisting of lime concrete - damaged - but its remains seemed consistently spread over the north end of the corridor. One would have supposed it dated to 101 A.D. but the
