Full Description
62087
Medieval and post medieval pottery and tiles were seen adjacent to the River Witham. Burnt limestone, red clay and soot were also present. This may have been a kiln site. The pottery includes a pipkin handle-base, yellowy-brown glazed pancheon rim, and the base and handle of a small brown glazed jug with orange-red fabric. Also stamped, but unglazed ridge tiles and three hones. {1}{2}{3}
This is almost certainly the site of a medieval fishery. the 'stamped tile' is part of a large curfew-type vessel typical of such sites. {1}
