What is recorded here

Pre-development investigations in 2002 uncovered an hourglass-shaped dark deposit which revealed a bowl and flue suggesting a kiln (L 2.3m, Wth 1m). Oxidised clay lined the bowl. Four rolled and polished stones were identified in the fill and some animal bone was noted. There was no evidence in the form of seed or metalworking to suggest the function (Mc Cabe, 2004, 176).
