General description of the structural unit

This pier-and-door partition separates room 1 from room 2. We can notice 2 groups of sideropetra distance from 0.72 - 0.74 m, that may have formed the foundations of the central piers timber bases'. Nevertheless, on site, the north intermediate stone group seems to be roughly dressed. Next to the north wall, we have one huge stone, which can also be the foundation of the timber base, and another stone (the threshold ?).
On the south part of the wall, no stones were found, but there's a place for a wooden upright on the bench of room 1.
