| Truncated multi-phase fire installation consisting of fill (4806), which although the upper-most surviving material in the feature, was probably the lower-most fill of the latest phase of the feature. This heavily burnt material partly overlay an ashy rake-out layer (4808), which was clearly related to use of the feature. Below this were the truncated remains of a very hard burnt base (4901). This was not however the lowest layer of the feature, as below this lay more burnt fill (4904), which lay within a cut for the feature [4906]. This in turn had cut through an earlier superstructure (4908), a small section of which survived on the eastern side of the feature. The fire installation had therefore seen at least two, if not three phases of use, though because of truncations the full phasing was not totally clear. As with F502 the truncation was so severe that it was impossible to interpret the upper structure. It appears though, that this feature was also more likely to have been a hearth rather than an oven. |
