Tr. 222 E Kiln - S side repair: in removing the 3 stones of the fill it was noted that the brick wall of the kiln and the stone wall surrounding it lay side by side: the oval shape of the kiln (noted p.5) is therefore not due to distortion but is probably part of the original plan.

Tr. 524 E Brick wall plastered both sides running N/S for a distance of 2.75 m from S baulk in centre of trench. Level = 0.20 m

Tr. 524 E N/S wall block of finely dressed stone appearing due E - depth 0.45 m Line of plaster runs due E from wall noted immediately above to N end of stone. Total length 1 m.
