This level seems to lie over a loose pack of stones, for it often breaks through to hollows beneath showing stones.

Unit 7: Dig below the 8.86 = 9.01 level, through a thick fill of crushed limestone with some red earth. This looks very much like bed-rock, and was doubtless used to bring up the level of the land nearer to that of the true rock, which is visible above.

Unit 8: Dig below the 10.20 = 10.40 floor, through fairly loose brown earth with a good deal of crushed limestone. Find a floor of rather clayey brown earth with limestork grits at 10.44 = 10.50. This level goes to the wall to unit 19, the archaic destruction stopping at this level.

Unit 7: Start finding a floor of rather clean sandy brown earth at 8.95 = 9.41. In the west this gives way to bed-rock. This is only a level in the limestone fill to p. 155
