General description of the chase / cuvity

The centrally located chase (void) between the poros stones of the first course of the NW wall of the room could be the spot/position of a vertical timber element based on stone. There no obvious connection with a timber element (chase) at the other side of the wall. The current appearance is the result of restoration.
