Zone A(i) - Wheel Pit

At the start of zone A, from the curvature of the old waterwheel are different levels which are probably related to different functions:

1. - Wooden cross-beam, probably oak, with long hand-forged rose-head nails;

2. - Old, fragile planking attached to the cross-members beneath;

3. - Brick floor base, resting on river gravels;

4. - Base of small brick wall.

5. - Top of small brick wall.

6. - Three sets of diagonal brickwork which together follow the curvature of the waterwheel deeper;

7. - Two timber insets (shown by arrows) which also follow the deeper curvature;

"X" - is where the pot was discovered.
