Abstract: |
An evaluation and watching brief were carried out on the site in advance of housing development. The bulk of the site did not contain any archaeological deposits and had evidently been open land until being covered by a modern clay dump. The remainder of the site had formerly been occupied by a 19th century yard and bottle kiln bordered by three ranges of buildings. Fieldwork identified traces of the 19th century buildings but showed the bottle kiln been wholly removed. Two previously unknown structures were located, the first being the possible base for a 19th century in situ kiln. The second structure, a quadrant of a circular brick pad, was of unknown function and date. The main area identified the flues of the drying floor connected to the still standing down draught kiln and chimney constructed in 1940/41. following the fire in 1963 these flues were infilled and covered by the new factory concrete floor, also preserved in situ.
