Method and Sequence

Room built up against cliff face underneath overhang. Only construction observed was construction of north and south walls and part of roof. See masonry screen for architectural details of north wall. A section of the south wall is preserved near the cliff face and stands two stones high. In addition, a rough outline of the south wall is visible west of the exposed section. This room was roofed based on the presence of a primary beam in the north wall.
