'(1) KILNS etc., found before 1878 in a 50-acre field, said to be on the N. side of East Hill to the E. of Bradford Abbas and reported on by Prof. J. Buckman. Finds of tesserae etc., led, on further investigation, to the discovery of stone-paved floors with a series of two or three flask-shaped kilns built of local stone with a covering of flat slabs; others were found in the angles of rough foundations, making five in all. The accompanying finds included stone roofing-slates, querns of local oölite, Cornish granite and Andernach lava, bracelets of Kimmeridge shale and black and red coarse pottery. (Dorset Nat. Hist. and Ant. F.C. ii, p. 53.) Some of the finds were given to the Corinium Museum, Cirencester, but cannot now be identified.'
