The rock inclusions were similar to feature 2851, but not nearly as much wattle and daub as 2851. The linear nature of this SU, and the similarities to 2851, might suggest a wall collapse. This could also be a fragmented layer of floor or floor preparation. This SU might also be spatially related to SU 2851 as well.

Likely a layer of accumulation, but because off the amount of rocks and position on top of a floor surface, there is a possibility that it is also a collapsed feature
