General description of the space
Longitudinal reinforcement elements are identified on both sides of the wall, although the most and largest of them are found on the West side.
In one case, timbers are connected in a row, so as to create one longitudinal element of reinforcement.
In another case, the sole identified, a transversal timber is placed on the same level as the longitudinal ones flanking it, in direct contact with them - with no mortar between them.
For exact dimensions, see respective Timber Evidence tabs.
