Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Abberley Hall Foundation, at the bank of the lime kilns south of Abberley Hall, Abberley, Worcestershire (NGR SO 7450 6615; HER ref WSM 66624). The southern of two mid-late 19th century lime kilns was undergoing restoration works, including the excavation of the in-filled brick-lined pot, and repointing of the draw hole vault and arch. The progress of the works was monitored, photographed and recorded by which demonstrated that the internal structure of the southern lime kiln was in good condition. The finds from the backfill of the pot indicate that the kilns were casually infilled with domestic rubbish, between the late 1920s and late 1950s. This interpretation is consistent with their appearance on the 1954 Ordnance Survey map but not on the subsequent 1972 map, indicating that by the later date they had been completely infilled and become overgrown. |
