It is located 1.55 m. from the vertical timber element to the NW and 1.50 from the vertical element to the SE. It has been restored at a height of 0.95 m. from the ground-level of the Central Court, where a chase of an horizontal transversal timber element is preserved/restored connecting the preserved vertical chases on both sides of the wall at that point.
