Stones at different levels and from different phases were uncovered in Block 19. Along the western scarp is a N-S well built wall, with a neatly cut boulder resting in the soil to the E of the wall, at the S end is some rubble, at the N end is an E-W line of single row stones, and under this line and towards the northern scarp is the top of a large flat stone. The area is too small to yield much architectural information on these 2-4 phases. Among the finds were a loom-weight fragment and a small piece of white plaster on the eastern face of the N-S wall. The plaster fragments that have been collected from other blocks are coloured in red or yellow and, perhaps, the white fragment is an indication that the eastern face of the N-S wall is the exterior of the building (at one phase).
