| Context Description: | The house as it stands was contemporary with the main occupation-period of No. 4 across the street,3 5 but the existing burnt-brick walls were built over and virtually reproduced the mud-brick walls of an earlier structure of the same character. With the rise of the street level the floor of the house was raised by 0.80 m. and a new threshold was put in, approached by a flight of steps from Straight Street which gave a sill 1.30 m. above the original street level. The whole front of the house has been razed to floor level.2 |
