Hello all,
This comes from a description of excavations of an abbey in France. Not sure what assise d'élévation means. Some sort of base? Grateful for any help.
Ce mur conservé sur une assise d’élévation, s'arrête côté ouest sur le piédroit (partie latérale) d'une ouverture dont l'autre piédroit est aménagé dans un mur accolé à l'angle du cellier.

a base of elevation
I think we are talking about the foundation of the abbey, the base for any elevation.
