  • Only the edge of this wall is seen in the north section running east askew to the trench edge from where it abuts the west face of 6091. The topmost exposed masonry is a single course of cubiliae (reused?) arranged upright rather than diagonally as in a normal reticulate fashion. They range in height from 7.9-10.0 cm. Then there is a thick layer of concrete and blow that is a foundation of faced tuff blocks set into a thickly bedded cement construction which is then smoothed off at times over the blocks.
  • At the east are traces of thick, soft gray plaster unevenly applied. The fill of 6111 (6112) has cut into the foundation courses and tunneled into this wall as it continues into the north section.
