Description	There are three rows of ashlars from north to south, bordered by three headers on the west. This Platform-Landing appears to be in good condition however, there has been more attrition and cracking of the stones than in the Locus 6 Platform-Landing. The justification for ascribing these steps to this phase is that all the extant steps and platform landings are considered to have been constructed concurrently.
