Narrative
-
- InterpretationA 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.

- As of the 2021 field season, this feature was fully excavated within the limits of the LOE and was interpreted as a flue or stoke hole at the western edge of limekiln F217. Upon the complete removal of the fill (2177), dense concentrated areas of charcoal and pieces of burnt wood were discovered lying at the base, from which samples 208 and 209 were taken. This is likely remnants from the final firing of the kiln. Excavation in 2021 also revealed this feature to be wider than was believed in 2020 after the removal of rubble which had originally been interpreted as the northern edge of the flue. The flue is now thought to be approximately 1.7m in width.
