Drawing: cross-section of layers; labels: East wall, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20, West wall, 4 cm, [illegible], 40, ca 90°, 47 = 20 cm., Elevation of

second layer and above looking south of east Room North of large. some \E\ in wall., 1st layer, 2nd layer, soil brown, soil light, Stones and loose fill, Stones beside wall blue pebbles possible foundation for stairs]

This is I believe all a fill for second layer. The soils in third layer were not dug out separately. It would seem that the soil under stones on East end is different and came after soils to West. It would seem that soils were thrown in from west side, through the stones at east end of western most soil wall may have been used to retain soil.
