The second walk is contemporary with the general filling in of area to north and may be contemporary with the last filling in of area south of west wing. The It is characterise by cement and blue pebbles.

In the last period the stones which marked northern end of steps was taken away and possibly used for NESW v. photo 28 wall of last poeriod. The area with different soil on top of steps may have been a partch but it may also have marked the place frohence stones were extracted. The second walk which spread over whole area was cut in this last period for this NESW wall. That the cutting of second layer may not be contemporary with the top soft layer. That only the top bottom layer of stones was not disturbed in last recontruction of north wall is shown by the stones wedged in betw between wall and steps of first walk.
