Wall 5007 consists of two exposed courses of ashlar blocks. Additional courses may be exposed on further excavation but remain unexposed for the 2012 season due to wall 5007 stability concerns. The upper course of blocks tip southward away from the enclosure due to unknown disturbance. A similar section of wall would likely have extended past header 5123 along the southern edge, adjoining to wall 5006, similar in building technique to 5007, but this has been lost or removed. The majority of blocks on 5007 show intentional wear on the visible faces, consistent with those made when using a tong crane to lift blocks. The exceptions are the large upper and lower blocks on the eastern limit. The material in fill 5050 is thought to be the original construction fill material due to composition and may be able to be used to date the wall.
