Originally interpreted as the footprint of a kiln (RPP kiln found a few meters to SE) but clarifying limits revealed that 17016 consists of a mix of bricks along E limit and wattle and daub covering plaster (facing pavement?). Now believed to represent the collapse of suprastructure of wall 17020? or the ceiling of the portico? Possible to id lines of bricks? w mortar
