Description This is the Central Doorway in the East Corridor Wall, which separates the East Walkway from the East Corridor. The doorway contains a limestone threshold, with limestone and sandstone doorjambs. Some plaster was found in the doorway, which originally adhered to its walls. Two spaces for door attachments are incised into each side of the doorway. Both lock holes remain in the center of the threshold. Each of the three sections of the threshold is at about the same level with at most a 0.20 m difference in height between them. All sections of this doorway are well preserved. The north side of the doorway is nine courses high, and the south side is ten courses high. The doorway is 1.80 m in width on the east and 2.10 m in width on the west.
