The hole in the wall forming the outlet is 17 inches wide by 14 inches high.
There is a similar hole 18 inches Square in the wall of the next house
(G 3: c) but in this case the bottom of the hole is 2f't. 4in. above the level
of the street so that it may have been a window.
A small house, remaining fairly perfect, is that at H 2 : 23 ; H 3 :1. It is
shown to a larger scale in Fig. 47.
The most nearly perfect building of this period is the small but com-
pletely detached house, J 3 : 18, 24, 28. ■ It is surrounded on three sides by
an alley (17) only '50 m. wide. The width of the street on the east side was

not determined. The wall on the other side of the alley 17 is a retaining
wall to hold back the high ground on this side (Fig. 59, Section PQRS, 16).
The house (Fig. 48) originally consisted of a large room (18, 24) with a
smaller one (28) opening out of it. The walls are '60 nietre thick, and
remain standing to an average height of F50 metre. The larger room was
entered from the street by a doorway in the middle of its east side. This
doorway has freestone jambs, carefully woiked but not rebated, and a thres-
hold of the same material. At a later time a wall (c) was built across the
north end of the larger room cutting off about two metres from its length.
