Full Description
During the 1930-9 excavations fragments of fired clay objects later identified as briquetage were found. Only one fragment of briquetage was recovered from the 1970 excavation. Hull and Hawkes believed it to be a salt production site but recently Rodwell suggested that it should be considered an 'inland briquetage' site. <1>
