In square 1 there emerges from the east trench wall a wall a) 0,60 - 0,70 m broad, whose top is 0,40 cm below the ground surface, firmly built of small stones and lime mortar. In the middle of the square it makes a corner and bends off in the longitudinal direction of the trench up to square 3, where it is interrupted by a cross wall b) which disappears into both trench walls. This cross-wall lies only a few [illegible] cm below the ground surface, but is of the same character as the former. Clear bonding is present at all angles. From this cross-wall b) a wall c) extends, which continuously stretches up to the boundary between squares 9-10. Wall c) follows also for the most part the longitudinal direction of the trench, but does not lie in line with wall a). It lies largely at the same 0,40 cm level.
