Description	The Portico Wall, a massively-built sandstone wall oriented east west and forming, in essence, the northern boundary of the trench. The exposed north face (fronting on the Roman Street) shows large brownish-red sandstone blocks, expertly dressed, laid very well with some evidence of mortar. The south face is obscured by a late wall built flush against it. The wall is more well-preserved on the west, tapering down to only one or two courses preserved over the string course on the east.
