General description of the structural unit
It is a horizontal timber reinforcement that also corresponds to the levelling of the stone base of the wall. It is placed exactly on top of this stone base, and above it the adobe wall starts.
Right above this longitudinal chase there is a hole that could correspond to a transversal timber, not inside the masonry but under the structrure of the staircase. Could it perhaps indicate some kind of grid levelling the first vegetal layer that served as the base for the first steps of the staircase?
