Late RB pottery kiln found by HJD Bennett in 1970 and partly excavated by him. Re-excavated by Rodwell in 1971. Finds in Colchester Museum. <1> <4> Irregular and crudely constructed pottery kiln found built on top of remains of an earlier kiln north-east of Inworth village. The chamber was partly of reused lumps of old kiln walling. There was no evidence for a raised floor, as if the pots had been stacked in the bottom of the kiln. A nearby clay-pit was filled with waste pottery. The products comprised dishes, bowls, and jars of conventional late Roman types, plus some `Romano-Saxon' bossed and dimpled ware. A fragmentary pottery mould, unstratified, took the form of a small male figure. An unusual silver gilt button brooch, paralleled in an early Saxon settlement at Little Wilbraham (Cambs) suggests a C5 date for the kiln. <2> in <1> Other ref: <3>
