Abstract: |
Archaeological excavation was carried out on 0.65ha of land off Cotes Road, Barrow upon Soar. The site had been extensively quarried for limestone, before being reinstated as farmland. Two brick -lined 'pot' kilns for the calcining of limestone were found. The kilns were circular, between c 2.5m-3.0m diameter at the top, tapering to 1.0m-1.3m at the base and up to 1.8m deep. Prior to abandonment, all the brickwork lining was removed down to the last few courses at the base of the kiln. An out-turned stoke hole was present in each kiln with an external working area and a sloping ramp up to the ground level. On typological grounds, these appear to date from the late 18th or 19th century. |
