Interpretation SU fills western side of sewer running through area B 2011. Northern limit might have once connected with SU 1348 to its north. SU might have served as embankment either narrowing the sewer, separating it from the house foundations or serving another purpose. Southern limit tapers off but sewer might connect to the area urbana to the south.
