‘MILTON ABBAS. R. A. H. Farrar reports that the continued search for the site of the supposed Romano-British pottery kilns on Bagber Farm met with some success in 1976, in a thin scatter some 30m wide of worn and fragmentary imbrex tile centred around SY 80129907, in freshly ploughed pasture south of the Dutch barn, as forecast (PDNHAS, XCV (1973), 95-6). The only pottery sherds, however, were a fragment of amphora and wheel-thrown grey ware jar-rim, with no sign of black-burnished ware. The crucial area may lie in the remaining pasture to the west.’
