Discovered during pre-development excavation in 1996 (Excavation Licence 96E0161). The fragmentary remains of two kilns (see also LH024-041108-) of medieval date were uncovered. One was fan-shaped with a cobbled surface around it, while the foundations of the second were square. (Murphy, Deirdre 1997, 75-6)
