Abstract: |
A small area was stripped mechanically under archaeological supervision and two pottery kilns were investigated by hand. A watching brief was also maintained on demolition works. A pottery dump was also explored and a representaitive sample of the ceramics recovered. The excavation confirmed that the remains of the brick bases of the firing chambers of two pottery ovens were well-preserved just below the present ground surface. The investigation exposed the partial circuit of two brick-built close-coupled updraught bottle ovens, both having been truncated by later structures. During the investigation, groundworks outside the excavation area also revealed the partial remains of an additional oven, situated to the north of the excavated pair. Although this location was not subject to the archaeological condition, the client kindly allowed recording to take place before removal. The bottle ovens all had deposits which date from their operational use in the late 19th century and abandonment deposits dating to the mid-20th century. Finds included ceramics made on site and spanning the whole period of production by George Jones? Crescent Works. |
