Description A very thin (0.02 m thick) layer of white undecorated plaster that evenly covers the north face and keystone cut of the central blocked doorway. The plaster is of a much lower quality than that used to cover the north face of the south wall Locus 16. It strongly resembles cement and breaks off into crumbly sandy sheets when disturbed. However, despite its modern fragility, its in situ presence is testimony to its careful application in antiquity.

Bottom (m) Closing Levels: Full extent unknown due to discontinued removal of blocking stones.
Location On north face and keystone cut of central blocked doorway, Locus 4
Bonds to north face of Locus 4.
Overlies Locus 4.
Combined with None.
