Can you get a close up of this area? Also that piston has heat damage between the valve reliefs. You will find out more of the story after the piston is out.

I think you've dodged a bullet. Whatever dis that, left your engine, and obviously it hasn't caused problem. smooth it out, check to make sure nothing is protruding into the cylinder wall, and put it back together. Do a leak down test prior to running again, and record the numbers. compare that again the next time you run some diag tests.
 
pop the piston out... looks like you may have hammered a ringland out......
