- Possible cobbled surface to east of wall 2004. Mid reddish-brown sandy silt with large sub angular stones (19x20cm) placed to form a possible surface. 50% charcoal inclusions spread evenly across the deposit. Heat affected clay evident in areas and some fired purpled clay observed.

Narrative
-
- A discontinuous spread of rough stone cobbling, comprising sub-angular stones distributed to form a probable surface. The stones were of various sizes and an abundance of charcoal and coal deposits were observed across the surface in both discreet areas and as spreads. One area of clay beneath the charcoal and coal showed signs of having been heat affected. The clay had been partially fired and had become purple in colour. The probable stone floor was overlain by a later occupation deposit (2007) upon which wall (2008) was constructed. The location of wall (2008) meant that it was impossible to determine the extent of the floor surface to the north. However, the floor was bounded to the east by the southern return of Wall (2012). The stone floor and spread of charcoal and coal did not penetrate the footing of the wall, suggesting that they were contemporaneous with this structure. Although not investigated further, it appeared that the construction horizon (2016) of wall (2004) overlay the probable floor (2017).
