Based on the position of this cut within Room 5 - directly over the beginning of the drain structure (7201) - it seems likely that it was created by some kind of spoliation activity, perhaps to extract a basin or other higher-value feature related to the need for a drain below.

The cut features a channel cut down the center with a circular cut feature on the southern limit. The channel appears to have been a water feature likely used far drainage with the southern circular cut serving as a drain. The channel likely continues running north-south with offshoot drainage features to the east and west.
