Dimensions: 0.56m east-west x 0.34m north-south x 0.02m thick
Discussion: Heavily scorched deposit lying in the entrance to F269 and slightly overlying lower packing of this feature. Also lay at eastern entrance to F293. Appears to have formed a small platform across which hot material was removed from F269 and probably also F293. Level of scorching suggests there may also have been some burning in situ on this platform.
