- POTTERY KILN (Roman - 100 AD to 299 AD)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
Three Roman pottery kilns lying due north of a settlement site at Little London were excavated in 1937. It was suggested that there were two periods of operation of the kilns from AD150-180 and AD230-250 but the stratigraphy is dubious and this is not certain. A later re-examination of the pottery suggested a period of production around AD200-250. {1}{2}{3}
