General remarks This locus is located along the west baulk, between the north baulk and the wall L2156. On East side it is limited by L2143 and the rest of L2144. The locus was arbitrary laid out, to follow the wall, to give a section of it on the northern side. As well as giving a section of L2143.

Has note Contexts excavated in trenches were recorded using the "locus system." A locus is any discrete three-dimensional entity excavated in a trench. The key to the locus system is the recognition that a locus is any one thing. Differences in soil composition or texture are therefore as important as, for example, the difference between a pit and a wall. If two entities were distinct, they were considered separate loci and were therefore assigned separate locus numbers. It should also be noted that every context excavated in a trench was given a locus number and thus the trench itself is made up completely of excavated loci.
