Discussion: This is a secondary floor of an oven. Partly it comes over F521's east wall in the east it has got its own wall (4787) which is curving and at the southern section we can see a curving up plaster which looks like apart of a upper structure (roof of a domed oven) of the oven. It was partly burnt and turned to reddish dark colour but generally dark gray. In the west, it has got F521's outside plaster under it but in the middle and in the east it has another burnt oven floor layer which is yellowish in colour.
