No real change between strat 1 and 2 here - all dark brown soil without debris and very few stones. See section p. 1243. The terracotta pipe line is at a higher level (immediately to north of this area) than the base of the circular monument and is therefore presumably later. Strat 3, therefore, if undisturbed since laying of pipe line should date to a period [illegible] after the construction of the monument.
