Discredited Kiln Sites

The following, formerly claimed as kiln sites, cannot on present evidence be included in the gazetteer:
Ancaster Charlestown, SK98644426; the alleged Roman kiln (Trollope 1870, 11; idem. 1872,480-82) is structurally unlike Romano-British kilns and now seems likely to have been an old malting-oven connected with the adjacent malt-houses (inf. J. B. Whitwell).

Hagworthingham TF347705; no evidence known for wasters, kiln-debris or furniture from this suggested kiln site (OS Records), and material suggests domestic occupation with some iron-working.

Hemingby TF23767619; no evidence known for wasters, kiln-debris or furniture from this suggested kiln site (OS Records), and material suggests domestic occupation with some iron-working.

Maidenwell TF34647110;’brick and tile’and pottery (PSAL 2nd ser. 8 (1979-81), 368-9) appear to have related to a domestic building; no evidence cited for wasters or kiln-furniture.

Wrangle TF415531; the supposed kiln (EMAB 2 (1959), 10) was probably a saltern with domestic occupation adjacent, since it occurred in an area of known Romano-British salterns.

Discredited Kiln Sites

The following, formerly claimed as kiln sites, cannot on present evidence be included in the gazetteer:
Stone Stone Wood, Dartford; TQ58607290; the use of burnt flints as the lining of a pit are not compatible with its alleged function as a kiln (Peake 1919; VCH Kent 3 (1932), 131); this and the absence of fired clay debris or pottery wasters may imply that the feature was a domestic hearth.

Bexley Joyden’s Wood; TQ50227098 (Tester and Caiger 1954, 169-71); detailed examination of the relevant pottery shows an absence of underfired, misfired or distorted vessels, and an insufficient abundance or analytical homogeneity to link the material with pottery production (Monaghan 1982, 33-4); the ‘kiln’ may therefore have had a domestic function connected with the adjacent rural settlement.

Discredited Kiln Sites

The following, formerly claimed as kiln sites, cannot on present evidence be included in the gazetteer:
Earith N of Earith village, TL391759; this small, alleged pottery kiln (Green 1955) is now considered by the excavator to have probably functioned as a hearth or corn-drier, as ‘there was not the quantity of pottery normally found associated with kilns’ (inf. M Green).

Old Fletton London Brick Co., No. 1 Yard, TL198965 approx; the bar fragments, found in clay-digging in the late 19th century (VCH Hunts 1 (1926) 250; RCHM Peterbor 29; OS Records), are generally of lighter construction and not burnt to the same degree as local pottery-kiln bars; as they do not resemble saltern equipment either, they may have derived from another type of industrial or agricultural hearth (Gurney 1981, 82-3).

Peterborough Within under W wall of N transept of the Cathedral, TL19499866; the bars and fired-clay slab attributed to pottery production (JBAA 45 (1889) 363-4; P Mus AR 18-19 (1890-91) 29; RCHM Peterbor 3) are unlike furniture usually associated with kiln sites in the region; the bars are generally of lighter construction and not burnt to the same degree as those from local pottery kilns; they are also unlike typical salting equipment, and may therefore have been connected with another type of industrial or agricultural hearth (Gurney 1981,81-3).

Werrington SW of The Inhams, TF17550452; bars found on this site (RCHM Peterbor 14) are morphologically untypical of those from Romano-British pottery-kiln sites in the area; they may have derived from another type of industrial or agricultural hearth, associated with the nearby IA-RB rural settlement (inf. D F Mackreth).

Woodston London Brick Co., No. 4 Yard, TL185960 approx; fire-bar fragment, found in clay-digging in 1884(VCH Hunts 1 (1926) 251; RCHM Peterbor 36; OS Records), is less substantial and less heavily-fired than bars from local pottery-kiln sites; it also does not resemble salting equipment, and may therefore have derived from another
type of industrial or agricultural hearth (Gurney 1981,82-3).
