Description Locus 4 is a rubble wall constructed by the Bedoul while they were using this area for farming. The wall is poorly made of unhewn, hewn, and dressed sandstone ashlars. The wall is dry-laid, without any inclusions. It is three courses high and one row thick. The wall bonds with Locus 5, and they were clearly built at the same time, possibly to define the boundary between two fields. Locus 4 is phased to Phase XIV because of its modern date.
