Full Description
E 417:
This wall is situated 30 metres north-east of house E 416, and was constructed on a small terrace 1.3 metres from a natural stone outcrop forming a small room/ shelter. It runs roughly from north to south and measures 3 metres It stands up to 1.5 metres high and is not grown over! Mortar has been used on the outer side of the wall.
Interpretation: This wall seems to be relatively recent (use of mortar, not overgrown), however its purpose is unclear. It could have been a small storage room used by the inhabitants of house E 416.
