DIARY 1204 1704 (cont. from p. 1743) however that this debris may be broken up chavara blocks. It is uncertain, therefore, judging from the debris. whether the upper walls were composed of rubble. Very little rubble found in other rooms of Bath. A bit of floor of central room appearing immediately to east of west door. All stones from S.E. room (worked blocks only) placed at (drawing) (Trench 9) immediately east of room. Worked blocks from east room also removed to (drawing) (Trench 9) immediately to east of room. All worked blocks in upper & middle debris of central room have been placed on adjacent walk, those from lower debris have been piled up 1.50 m. south of west door. Heavy worked blocks from room west of the central room placed immediately north of room. Tiles stacked as already noted, a good many found but a comparatively small number of sherds.
