Interpretation
-
- Octagonal or hexagonal footing of an oven or hearth - medieval in date. Whole form is unknown as the structure is truncated to the West by [26012] a later demoliton cut probably from the robbing out phase of the complex. At the centre of the structure there is a a hollow which is friable and red, resulting from the CBM and bricks reacting to high temperatures or constant firing.
