 of the outer cur\cd surface, or extrados. The inner 

 surface, or intrados, and the remainder of the extrados 

 are smoothly dres.sed (fin. 38). .At tlic .south end of

 piece was recovered. This piece curves laterally and 

 has a helically sloped top .surface. It is 25 inches lont;,

 south end was found a cast-mortar blixk with grooves 

 on the back for metal or wooden fastenings (LSNM
