Unit 32386

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: fill hearth 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: hearth; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: Shallow pit in SW end B.131, part of a small cluster of inter-cutting features in this area (alongside features 7997 & 7998). Large amount of charcoal within feature suggests that it may be a hearth, although there is no clear scorching from use (although the whole area may be scorched by later burning, so it may not be visible). It does not seem to have the layered ash layers characteristic of other hearth features that have been excavated in this building & others, so if it is a hearth or fire pit, it does not seem to have been in use for a prolonged period.
