Hearth constructed with a plaster surround which forms a square lip. A concentration of charcoal was left in the middle of the hearth.
The only unit excavated was the charcoal because it would not survive until future years.
The fact that the plaster did not extend higher indicated it was a hearth rather than an oven
Archive Report 2005, Lisa Yeomans:
The southern area of the building functioned as the food production area of the building with a hearth F.1573, surrounded by a raised boundary. There was no oven but the hearth was set relatively close to the southern wall in the position where ovens are frequently positioned and is the likely location of the entrance ladder. |
