a = 0,16 m approx. | The rows of b = 0,155 m approx. | brick, red ochre c = 0,145 m approx. | mixed with fragments d = 0,01 m approx. | of white material are clearly differentiated by parallel chocolate-brown lines - One does not note vertical joints on the N. face, but only on the W. face, which seems to indicate large bricks -
