Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: oven; Material: pise-like; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 1.10 m x 1.10 m x 0.15 m 

Discussion: Phase II wall of fire installation F.I.11 - built up prior to floor? Difficult to be certain- it was built up against and over previous phase I wall which itself had all floors laid up against it. See sketch profile B. As yet, inner surface of phase I and II difficult to distinguish.
