Discussion: Spread of what appeared to be floor plaster in fact consists of discontinuous fragments filling hollow in room fill below (2013). It may therefore comprise collapsed wall plaster rather than decayed floors. Included fragment of plaster with red paint.
Could just be (2013) with more plaster collapse than rest of that unit. - in fact this is probably same as pit-fill (2737), the cut for which was only recognised lower down.
