Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
A double-flued tile kiln producing peg-tiles, floor tiles and bricks in the late 14th to early 15th century was excavated by P.J. Drury at Martin's Farm, Radwinter in 1979. The firing tunnels had been enlarged once, and the structure repaired several times. There was slight evidence for a roof over the kiln, principally supported on four timber posts.
Kiln largely built of pegtile fragments and pegtiles were evidently its main product. Floor tiles and bricks were also produced. (Martins Farm could not be located within the vicinity of the grid reference quoted by auth 1). <1> <2>
1989. Field survey.
The general location of kiln excavation was confirmed. The occupier of Stocking Green Farm TL 5926 3845 believed that Martins Farm (auth 1) was the old name of the above farm. <3>
