Monument record TQ 66 NW 9 - Tile kiln (site of)
Summary
A medieval Tile Kiln at Chapel Wood, excavated in 1963. This established that the structure uncovered in 1926 was not part of a Roman Hypocaust, but a medieval tile-kiln of normal type. Similar structures elsewhere suggest that it may have been constructed in the 13th or 14th centuries. Presumably it was built to provide tiles for buildings within the adjacent earthwork
