Description Locus 6 is the low wall east of the West Walkway Wall. Like the walkway wall, Locus 6 rests on 0.20 m of accumulated collapse fill (Locus 28) and represents a later period of building in the southwest of the precinct. The wall is constructed from wet-laid unhewn ashlars one course tall and one row wide and is in very poor condition. Based on its position, it is possible that this wall originally connected to the low wall fragment (Locus 5) bonded to the east face of the late West Walkway Wall to the southwest. Locus 6 has been assigned to this stage because it rests on the level of the early collapse fill (Locus 28).
