Full Description
Remains of a Roman pottery kiln discovered during the construction of Endsleigh Court Road and the Sussex Road housing estate in 1959. The kiln was one of a number of pits described variously as both a simple pit and a complete kiln which was dug by a number of 'amateurs' including a Mr M.J. Campen. The pottery recovered from this pit and from several points along the north-south arm of Endsleigh Court Road included Barbotine Ware, Mortaria, Grey wares, Cooking pots, jars and Face-urns. Most of the material was late and it was potters waste, a large proportion of it being under-fired. There were also fragments of vitrified kiln-wall.<1>
