Removing the level of flat stones & sherds set in mud, we come in the south to a clear body of sun-dried brick, running from the "wall" in the SW to the "brick & stone" wall of V. Grace's sounding. A mass of fallen (or filled) brick extends E. from this, apparently as far as the circuit wall. Photos Bam. '48 E 11-12 of tumble before removing

13-11-48 Removing fallen brick in the section immediately N. of the VG sounding, we find a facing of a thick and rather soft sandy mud along the face of the brick & coming down on the masonry wall in the VG cutting. North it slopes out onto a more or less level layer of brick, 0.30 below the level of the E. wall. At a point 1.10 N of the rock outcropping, the sandy clay turns east at right angles. Apparently this is only a change in tumble. Photo Bam 48 F 1
