Phase Description | |
Description | Locus 14 consists of six stacked stones, which split the trench along a north south axis. These stones were unhewn, but appeared to be deliberately stacked. The stones extend for at least the first five meters of the Trench. The stones created a barrier, which separated a layer of fluvial deposits. This represents a brief period of reuse in between the fluvial deposits. |
