North Wall

Renée Forsell

The wall is built in op. incertum consisting mainly of limestone, some grey and yellow, tufa and cruma set in buff to yellowish mortar. The wall is higher in the E part. The W part of the wall shows a disturbance, probably a hole made by tunnelling, which has been filled with limestone, tufa and cruma and is now partly covered by modern mortar. A few stones have fallen out from this mending. There are two beam holes in the W part of the wall the first located close to the corner the other c. 0.4m further E. The holes go through the wall and belong to the upper floor construction of room 6.

There are remains of wall plaster except where the tunnelling broke through the wall and in a band in the middle of the wall, c. 0,7-0.8m high, stretching E-W. The upper plaster remains go as far as the level of the upper floor except for the westernmost part. The plaster is also mostly gone along the floor where you could see remains of plaster coating. The plaster is weathered, more so higher up on the wall. The dado could have been white.
