Notes:	UPM record associates this object with U.16345, BM records show some confusion on this matter. The mace head has been subdivided as A because it is not reflected in the field card. It seems likely that this mace is actually one of the group U.16331

[1] U number reported in UPM records; possibly duplicated in the field but this macehead may be part of U.16331 group

[2] This description is inserted in the typed transcript of cards made sometime after the field seasons, but there is no handwritten card corresponding to it

Location	Context Title	Context Description	Description (Modern)
	House III	Excavation designation for a portion of area AH that was eventually published as No. 1 Church Lane and No. 1 Straight Street. It was also called the Pa-Sag or Hendur-Sag chapel. This space was identified as a neighborhood or wayside chapel at the NW edge of Carfax.	(none)
	No. 1 Church Lane	Off the corner of Church Lane and Straight Street. This house is combined with Straight Street 1, rooms 1,2,3. , The chapel occupied a corner site fronting on Carfax; the main door of the chapel proper opened on Church Lane and a subsidiary entrance which served the little rooms probably appropriated to the officiating priests opened on Straight Street. Such changes as were made in the building during its existence did not involve any raising of its floor level; from the beginning this was well above the street. The walls, most of which had suffered severely, were of later date, constructionally, than those of the neighbouring house, No. 3 Church Lane, onto which they abutted.	(none)
