(82) 20.11.48 Circuit Wall south (from p. 81) 83

The north & east walls are fairly regular rectangular brick structures. On the south is bed rock. East the bricks are recessed as they descend, & the fill runs under them. From top to bottom the structure is filled with earth containing a very high percentage of pebbly chavara. It is clear that this is original fill, put in bit by bit as the structure was built, & supporting the overhanging north side. The brick superstructure is square; the brick & stone substructure rounded. Clearing outside & extending to the west we finally discover the purpose of the building: a broad flight of steps of brick, leading up on to the wall. Below what appears to be the bottom step, some pottery frags. are found in situ. Photo Bam. '48 H4 of pottery Photos Bam '48 F. 12 cleared
