Full Description

Most of the kiln oven had been cut away by LMT pit 0006 and MLS pit 0072). All that survived was part of the stoke pit (0014), the collapsed flue arch (0078), and the start of the oven-pit walls (0082). Pit 0072 contained much of the oven pit walls thrown back in a fragmentary state. The quantity of pottery within the structure and in the pits which cut it (including some wasters) leaves no doubt that it was a pottery kiln producing Ipswich Thetford Ware. None of the in situ or dislodged fragments indicated any internal structure such as arches. The kiln surfaces were fired hard grey indicating considerable usage, (S1).
