Abstract: |
Archaeological excavation was carried out on 0.58ha of land at Bread and Meat Close, Warwick. Two medieval tile kilns were exposed, together with a tile lined tank/cistern, a stone working surface, an oven and a series of postholes and gullies forming part of the domestic and industrial occupation of the site. Archaeomagnetometry dates place the last firing of the kilns between 1300- 1330 and 1340-1370, both dates consistent with the pottery sequences from the occupation area. Encaustic and glazed floor tiles dated to the late 13th-early 14th century had been incorporated into the structure of the earlier kiln, although no evidence for floor tile production was uncovered. A stone and timber 'landing stage' on the Saltisford Brook was contemporary with the later 14th century kiln and linked to it by a stone walkway. |
