Interpretation
-
- This layer seems to be part of a major building phase for the entire church, not just the chapel area, since it extends beyond the eastern and southern walls of the chapel

Description
- color, composition, compaction
- hand pick, trowel
- clay
- Yellow brown where not burnt by the bell casting process. Dark brown with pink vein-like patterns.
- When exposed it gets very hard and forms bullet-like balls of clay. Elsewhere is it softer (though still stiff).
- good
- artifical
- clay
- A layer of clay used throughout the chapel onto which the pavements 3127, 3128 and 3131 are laid. The bell-casting pit is cut into it and it is in this area that this layer is best exposed.
- Initially, it was not obvious that the brown clay veined with pink was the same substance as the hard yellow brown clay seen elsewhere in the chapel. A decent amount of this clay was removed away in the area to the east of 3106 in an effort to pull what was thought to be the fill of 3135 away from the hard yellow clay into which it was cut.
- good
