This layer represents a post-abandonment accumulation within at least one major negative feature, cut 6060, covering poorly preserved and badly truncated earlier road features (6075/6076) on top of basalt pavement 6039. But it also seems to fill an erosion or cut (not separately documented) into the eastern side of later surface 6074.
