Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: collapsed lining 

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

Dimensions: 0.40 x 0.07 m x 0.12 m high 

Discussion: Small area of broken up material identical in colour and texture to lining of oven, lying on floor and against the wall but below the apparent deliberate backfill (2852), so interpret as some collapse that took place at the end of the use of oven, immediately prior to the backfilling. 

Recognition: Recognised on excavation of S wall of (2852), same pale reddish colour as lining material (2851) and (2860).
