| Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation and assessment was carried out on an area containing a Roman Tile Kiln. Evidence of Roman tile production in the vicinity had long been established but no kiln had been previously archaeologically recorded. Preliminary research indicated that the structure was the sixth largest found in Britain, according to the internal size of its combustion chamber (12.21m squared), although it had the longest fire tunnel so far found (3m) and the most impressive facade of the few (up to seven) that possessed them. Five other kilns in Britain included drains made of imbrices (3), a simple ditch (1) or box flues (two including Potters Bar), but none was of the complexity of the Rosehill example. [Au(adp)] |
