General description of the unknown structural unit

It refers to an unusual configuration of the mudbricks inside the wall separating Space V4 and Space V5. A low bedding seems to be flanked by a cylindrical chase, on the one part, and a significantly smaller rectangular one on the other. That last one could indicate the position of the beam forming the lintel of the niche opening in Space V4, but it is not clear.
