Abstract: |
Remains of a medieval tile kiln were discovered during the redevelopment of an office building in central Worcester. The find is important, as it is the first time that a medieval tile production site has been discovered within the town. The kiln was primarily constructed of tiles stacked horizontally but showed evidence of extensive repairs during its use, some of which incorporated brick into the structure. Evidence suggests that it was exclusively devoted to the production of tiles but, unfortunately, those found are not sufficiently diagnostic to precisely date the time of operation of the kiln. Archaeomagnetic analysis of the remains was therefore requested. The results show that the kiln was likely to have last been used in the mid-fifteenth century AD and that it had been remodelled some 10-15 years previously. |
