Discredited Kiln Sites
The following, formerly claimed as kiln sites, cannot on present evidence be included in the gazetteer:
Fulbourn TL519567 (Carter 1875); lime-kilns.
Leverington Gorfieid, Richmond Hall, TF414118 (PCAS 43 (1949), 15); possibly a pottery shop or store, as the pottery is not derived from a single production centre.
March Fen Causeway, Flaggrass, TL434985 (JRS 47 (1957), 266); probable saltings.
Upwell Russell’s Farm, TL477957 (OS Records); probable saltings.
