Short Description:
Stone structure of western Flue/stokehole for limekiln F217
Issued to

Interpretation
-
- A stone built structure associated with F217. It may be a stoke hole or flue. It may be associated with a wall F248 seen in F217, but there is nothing definitively linking them. Within this there was a build up of material (2177) within which there was a skull and scapula from a disturbed burial (sk2172). There was also some evidence of burning within this structure.

- In 2021, the entirety of this flue structure was excavated within the bounds of the LOE and an intense deposit of burnt wood and charcoal was observed in the base of the structure. This was sampled for potential species ID and/or dating. This feature likely represents either a single large flue with a smaller central linear stone supporting structure, or a double flue of some form. Upon excavation, it seemed that some elements of the stone structure itself were either later rubble or some form of structural addition/alteration. The feature warrants further investigation, as it seems to extend beyond the bounds of the 2021 season LOE, to fully characterise its form and extent.
