(from p. 122) : thicken rim, of P 1564 or Dromos # 17, but 16 sample prob. rather earlier, no ribs on outside; small frag. plain ribbed ware, buff clay; some of the other plain ware may be as late, including (mended) piece of strain -pipe (?). 1st cent.

Between these stones and those over the "hump of earth" (see p. 144) the corner shows few stones. Phot. 18.19, see opposite.
