So placed to prevent disturbance of the ground below to provide a relatively even and firm surface for the placement of the next layer and to keep out ground air and moisture. At the time many ground floors of houses were formed as raised timber floors on oversite concrete with the space below the floor ventilated against. As nouns the difference between oversite and oversight is that oversite is a flat solid layer of concrete serving as a base for flooring while oversight is an omission.
