Abstract: |
A monitored topsoil strip carried out at 6 Fairfields, on the site of the former Dunmore pottery works, identified three pits, two of which contained a quantity of post-medieval pottery. The pottery recovered from one of the pits mainly comprised green-glazed Post-medieval Oxidised and Reduced Wares (SPMO/R). This material is thought to date to the 15th-18th cenrury and probably represents some of the earliest material produced on the site. The material from the second pit was rather later, probably dating to the late 18th/19th century. Previous work on the site produced wasters of both 'country pottery' redwares and whitewares (Cruickshank 2001), but does not appear to have recovered any evidence for earlier pottery production. This assemblage, although small, is very important for the study of post-medieval ceramics in Scotland as it is only the second production site of SPMO/R to be located, the other being at Throsk, Stirlingshire. |
