Conservation and Remodeling, DK-G Area

Many of the original walls and features of the ancient buildings in DK-G area have been rebuilt and modified through conservation. The salt encrusted footings represent the original wall; a line of bitumen coated and red painted bricks serve as a damp proof course to protect the upper portion of the wall. The upper portion of the wall has been conserved with brick bonding that is not the same as the original wall. A stairway has been constructed to allow people to reach the tops of the walls for a better view of the area.
