breaks Explanation: This simple suggestion, kindly offered by Petitavoine, seems to me to be just what we want: "The curtain wall was not all built at once but was constructed in segments, as can be seen from vertical breaks in the stonework which mark where sections met." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pevensey_Castle "subdivided by modern partitions. The walls on all four sides of this room are of brick, in English bond, and represent an addition to the old mill building; however there are vertical breaks in the south-western wall, parts of which are in a different bond." http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archiveDS/archiveDownloa... "No visible break was observed in the upper and lower parts of the masonry and it is assumed that the building was constructed soon after, if not continuously with, the wall." http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archiveDS/archiveDownloa... |
