SU 8235 is the silty fill of cut 8259. It appears that the cut was perhaps leveled off with stones on the western side and then filled in with dirt. It is possibly the intentional fill of an earlier drainage system which was perhaps associated with the early features in the room (e.g. tufo well head SU 8095).
