Vertical timber element extending to the entire preserved height of the mud-brick part of the NW rubble-stone wall of Room XXXII that corresponds to Room VI (on the other side of the wall). It is located on the SE side of the wall and it delimits this specific part of the wall from the NE. No similar timber element has been recorded on the other side of the wall. It is approx. 3.50 m. from the NE end of the wall and 0.75 m. from the preserved vertical timber element to the SW. Its appearance is the result of restoration during excavation.
