What is recorded here

Located on slightly higher ground than the pits (ME050-056----) just to the S was a figure-of-eight kiln consisting of an oval pit (dims 1.37m x 1-1.2m; D 0.36m) connected at S to a circular pit (diam. 0.82-0.94m; D 0.46m). It was filled with silty clay with inclusions of charcoal and burnt bone over a red-stained clay indicating in situ burning. The oval pit produced charred evidence of wheat and barley but a sample of hazel charcoal from it yielded a C14 date of 422-596 cal. AD. A sample of charred hazel from the circular pit produced a C14 date of 267-540 cal. AD. The subsoil was scarred with ard-marks running NW-SE and NE-SW.
