Discussion: - Oven Structure - Penultimate phase of use.
- Better preserved on N, NW and along E side, where surface sheen is preserved.
- Central area damaged, presumably by heat, and elements of the NE completely destroyed.
- The two southern corners showed some signs of a residual surface or repair. Not discrete enough to warrant its own unit, but worthy of note. - This may alos have been a remnant of the collapsed superstructure.
