Excavations Summer/Autumn 2002

Go to week...
Week 7

Excavation of the remaining kilns began. There were some surprises with multi-chambered structures, they all appeared to be late Roman.

This kiln has two thin-walled firing chambers, one behind the other.

A very complex kiln with at least three chambers - probably rebuilt on several occasions.

The conventional thick-walled clay firing chamber.

Pottery from the 'failed' last firing is still in the chamber.

Finds from a ditch filling include glass, part of a shale bracelet, a pottery kiln 'spacer' and pottery.

Not everything on the site is Roman. Late Iron Age pottery found in a ditch.
