In sect. c clean red-brown earth is found at 5.93. Some stones, perhaps in-situ appear through this level. In the south there is a regular change to white in d, at 5.75. This is either bed rock or a rock fill over bed rock.

The whole region is badly torn up by intrusions. Several well cut stones were found in intrusion #1, doubtless from the wall.

In section f red earth is found at 6.51. It goes to bed rock at 6.58.
