Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: hearth; Material: occupation; Deposition: multiple

Discussion: Multi-layered burnt, ashy lower fill of fire installation F523, lying below the hardened base (4901) and therefore indicative of an earlier phase of use of the feature, though does not appear to lie on an earlier hardened base, merely overlying a lower unburnt clay deposit, which appears to have been partly cut into as a first phase of feature construction.
