Full Description
PRN 43668
SIX FRAGMENTS OF BRIQUETAGE (INCLUDING SUPPORT PEDESTALS/HAND BRICKS) WERE RECOVERED DURING TOPSOIL STRIPPING ON THE BURGH LE MARSH TO INGOLDMELLS RISING MAIN. IT IS THOUGHT THAT THESE MAY HAVE SPREAD FROM A MEDIEVAL SALTERN SITE IN THE VICINITY. {1}
Medieval salterns did not use the poorly-fired clay-vessels that are the source of briquetage. If the identification of briquetage is accurate then the site will be Prehistoric or Roman. {3}
