In the N. E W corner there is a circular depression, covered, however, by the 10.82/ 10.68 - 10.87 floor. There is a stone on it. This may be due to a pit sunk from an earlier level, filled and then settling, causing the higher floor to drop.

Continue working east of units 22 + 23, removing dump and clearing the circuit wall. The area is one great mass of stones, of all sizes & shapes. Many of them seem to be in and on black earth, so I suspect that the surface of the wall was extensively disturbed in post-Bronze-Age times, just as it has been wherever else we have found it. That the wall was visible until Roman times is q obvious from the presence of Roman [pencil: ?] sherds clear to bed-rock outside the wall in old tr 3.
