| Designator | Wall |
| Context rating | Primary |
| General remarks | This is a wall. Not just a single piece of straight wall this is a corner of a structure. It is located in the NE corner of the trench. There is a small step down from the western half to the eastern half. this step is the result of the way that the trench was excavated and is not a natural feature of the wall. |

| Strat abuts | 15, 18, 25, 19 |
| Strat remarks | L 15 is an inside surface associated with this wall. |

| Color | 7.5YR 7/2 Pinkish Grey |
| Composition | Mudbrick. the bricks has small pebbles (less than 3cm) and pieces of ceramic in it. |
| Description remarks | The sample piece of mudbrick had a large piece of pottery in it, this may not be representative of al the pieces. |
| Tentative Date | Middle Bronze Age |
| Has note | Contexts excavated in trenches were recorded using the "locus system." A locus is any discrete three-dimensional entity excavated in a trench. The key to the locus system is the recognition that a locus is any one thing. Differences in soil composition or texture are therefore as important as, for example, the difference between a pit and a wall. If two entities were distinct, they were considered separate loci and were therefore assigned separate locus numbers. It should also be noted that every context excavated in a trench was given a locus number and thus the trench itself is made up completely of excavated loci. |

| Material | Mud brick |
| Stone brick size | .35m x .16m, .28m x .13 |
| Associated surfaces | 25 |
| Structure type | Building/Wall |
| Rows amount | Running N/S 5. Running E/W 4 |
| Wall abuts | 19, 25, 18, 15 |
| Remarks | The wall running E/W continues all the way to the outer west edge of the locus. the wall running N/S meets this wall to make the corner. the corner shows no signs of interlocking. |
