Interpretazione
-
- Part of a series of postholes found in the western part of the trench. The structure that might have been formed by these post holes seems to have been minor and not intended for human occupation. It's possible that it was used for the containment of animals or similar.

- The fill was formed in two phases. The first when the supports (which are comprised of large stones and brick fragments) were used to support a post. It should be noted that the vertical orientation of the inclusions would have helped to narrow the size of the original cut and would have served in the support of a post. The soil would have filled the space which remained after the pole disintegrated.

- Stratum of soil with large inclusions of stone and brick of varying shapes and dimensions, 15-30 cm in length. The bricks are fragmentary and the stone is roughly hewn. They are oriented vertically within the stratum and and are arranged in a sub-circular and asymmetrical pattern (i.e. there seems to be little order in how the materials were used). The soil found among these inclusions is friable, porous and fine grained. The tesserae and ceramic inclusions were randomly distributed within the stratum, but the charcoal inclusions, while sparse, were found predominantly at the base of this stratum.
- The materials used to construct this posthole were reused from earlier sources. It must be noted that the large inclusions were predominantly oriented vertically.
