Interpretation
-
- This deposit was not excavated as of the 2021 season but likely represents the fill of the supposed eastern flue of limekiln F217. The burnt ashy nature of this deposit including highly degraded limestone suggests its use as part of the industrial process of lime production. Being contained within the bounds of walls 2346 and 2359 further suggests its use as a flue/stoke hole or raking hole
