The east wall (wall 12) of the same room, the southward projection of the central unit behind the pillar, is also well preserved. This is composed of a lower foundation of boulders (1 m. in height), resting on the bedrock, then a course of low blocks (height 0.23 m.) forming the base for the upper part built of dressed slabs placed back to back with a vacant space between (height 0.70 m.). On these slabs rest other horizontal ones, 0.20 m. in thickness, which thus keep the underlying slabs in position and bridge the empty space between them.
