Summary : A Roman pottery kiln of probable Hadrianic to Antonine date was excavated in 1929.
More information : (SJ 561090) The site of a pottery kiln was excavated by Mr. Jackson in 1929. "It lies outside the city (Viroconium) on the north side, close to the Bell Brook. It consisted of two furnaces, in which were found the broken portions of a large quantity of mortaria made from red clay. One of these red mortaria was discovered in the cemetery north of Viroconium with two side lugs, and is the only specimen found here. As there were many broken examples of the same type in the kiln, it is probable that this was made locally." (1) This pottery kiln is probably of Hadrianic/Antonine date. (2)
