Unit 4113

Category: cut    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: oven construction cut 

Data Category Information: Description: oven

Dimensions: 0.86m (N-S) , 0.75m (E-W) , 0.25m deep 

Discussion: Broadly sub-rectangular shallow cut, constructed to take oven structure f269, in the manner as shown in sketch (A). Appears to be deepest at the south end adjacent to wall, though this maybe due to a greater depth of underlying deposit lapping pu against the wall. Appears similar to cuts for ovens f450 and f451 in the SW corner of space 117. The structure of the ovens suggests a shallow cut with oven wall or superstructure constructed over and around the cut. In this feature the structure was then packed and a floor established c. 10-12 cms. above base of cut.

Possibly the cut was for an earlier feature of unknown functionm later utilized as an oven, hence the levelling material 3998 being used to raise the oven floor approximately the surrounding floor level.
