Earth Remarks Central fitted stones (see top plan) appeared bounded left & right (E & W) by 10 larger stones snuggled one each against Walls 4 & 9 & raised 10-15 cm above the former; upon removal --? larger outermost stones clearly appeared tumbled similar to much other tumble being removed (i.e. tumbled against Wall 9 & not firmly placed); the central "pavement" also proved unconvincing
Stratigraphic Remarks There was no difference in L8 above or below Sace 12
