Interpretive Categories: Infill 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: oven; Material: re-used superstructure; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.65m e-w x 0.6m n-s x 0.2m deep 

Discussion: Oven infill. The infilling episode appears to have been associated with some destruction, as the oven base was almost totally truncated and mixed in as part of 5056. It is unclear as to why this infilling occured, when you mighth have expected the whole thing to have been flattened. Who knows what they were up to in this corner-it's a bit of a bodge job all round!? Cowboy builders, probably!
