Description This wall comprises the western half of the section (8.40 m in length) of the East Corridor Wall between the north and Central Doorways. The wall is composed of six-to-eight courses of roughly hewn limestone blocks. The average height of these stones is approximately 0.42 m, and the average width is 0.30-0.70 m.
