Beneath it follow the described earth layers without any wall. Possibly the wall is laid in two periods, whereby the boundary could be determined at the lower level of the threshold stone. Above and below this the laying of the wall shows differences. The lower part of the wall then belongs to the treading level 2,25; the upper part of the wall to a building whose floor belongs together with the threshold level. The destroyed surface layer makes impossible the establishing of the upper part's sinking down to the boundary level. Next to this wall, at a depth of 2,20-2,30, the remains of a pipe line were found.
