| Details | A wall built from stone blocks, some of which are inscribed. The wall includes eight inscribed stones in all, referred to here as A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. Stones A–E are arranged in one row, while stones F–H form part of the row below. One inscription (IN03156) reads straight across stones A and B, is continued on stone C and concludes on stone D. A separate, fragmentary record (IN03157) begins on stone E and continues on stones F–H. At least one inscribed stone has been lost from the second inscription, since the text on stone F does not follow on directly from stone E. This indicates that the wall was rebuilt at some stage. |
