| Heavily truncated fire installation towards south of Space 173, consisting of a thin layer of fill (4603) lying above a very hard heavily burnt base (4801), which may have ben a continuation of the superstructure (4802), though recorded separately as it had been much more heavily heat-affected. The superstructure consisted of an oval (not fully excavated) ridge of fire-hardened material, with evidence of repair on the western side. There was no apparent opening to the feature at the side, suggesting that it was more likely to have been a hearth rather than an oven, though as it had been heavily truncated, all signs of a side entrance could have been lost. The whole feature overlay a thin ashy spread (4803), which sealed a lower fire installation feature, F523. |
