Description	Locus 3 is a wall composed of medium- to large-size (up to 1.10 m in length), hewn sandstone ashlars set into even courses. A total of three courses, each measuring 0.41-0.52 m wide, were excavated. This locus would have served as the north wall for the corridor and later room that ran along the north edge of the Lower Temenos. The difference in size compared with the ashlars used in the South Wall is readily apparent; however, it must noted that the two walls served in different capacities. The North Wall continues down below the top course of the bench (Locus 7) to an unknown level below it. Based on the length of the North Wall excavated in Special Project 70, it is impossible to determine whether it bonds or abuts with any other walls. However, based on a study of the intersection between it and the East Wall of Trench 51, it is apparent that the latter abuts the former.
