General description of the vertical timber reinforcement system
3 vertical timbers identified on the south side of the wall, one securely attested on the north side. The south side of the wall seems to be divided in 3 equal parts of +/- 1,5m. The bases of the timbers are at different height. A transversal, diagonal timber seem to connect the two sides of the structure, at a height of 0,90m.
