Monument record TR 04 SE 142 - Roman tile kiln, Bircholt Forstal, Brabourne
Summary
A Roman tile kiln was exposed, although perhaps not fully excavated, in 1983. An unpublished report by David Williams survives, which gives the location, as does a small sample of the tiles from the site that has recently been assessed as part of work on the tile from Folkestone Roman villa, which is c. 14 miles south east of the Bircholt kiln. Local research on the excavation and location has provided more information.
