A Middle Saxon Iron Smelting Site at Ramsbury, Wiltshire
EXCAVATIONS on a site in the High Street, Ramsbury revealed an iron smelting and smithing site datable by radioxcarbon determination and analysis of the finds to the late 8th and early 9th centuries. The industrial structures consisted of bowl furnaces and associated features of at least three phases, and included a timber-framed shelter. A ‘developed bowl’ furnace with slag-tapping facilities was built in the last phase, and had survived to a su…
A Late 13th and Early 14th-Century Tile Factory at Danbury, Essex
THE EXCAVATION of a practically complete medieval tile factory, in operation between c. 1275/85 and 1325/35, is described. The establishment comprised three buildings, interpreted as workmen's accommodation (A), a workshop (B), and a drying shed (C), together with two kilns, within a ditched roadside enclosure. The kilns were of the normal type, with two parallel flues; one had a walled stokepit reached by a tile staircase. The methods of tile ma…
The Excavation of Bronze Age and Iron Age Settlements at Trevisker, St. Eval, Cornwall
The site was first occupied in the Bronze Age by a small agricultural settlement, consisting of two circular timber houses with ancillary structures and ditches. One house was eventually replaced by a stone structure. A single radiocarbon determination suggests that the settlement is to be dated within the period 1700–1300 B.C. The Iron Age settlement of Trevisker Round was probably established in the second century B.C., if not earlier. An origi…
Medieval Distilling-Apparatus of Glass and Pottery
THIS paper brings together for the first time a selection of medieval glass and pottery distilling-vessels from British sites. A discussion on the technical aspects of distilling by F. Greenaway (Part I) is followed by a report on two important groups of glass and pottery distilling-apparatus from Selborne and Pontefract priories of the middle and late 15th century respectively (Part II). Part III discusses pottery distilling-vessels from other f…
Excavation at Kildrummy Castle, Aberdeenshire, 1952-62
MRS YATES placed Kildrummy Castle under the guardianship of the then Ministry of Works in 1951.This paper records excavation and survey since that date with notes on the history of the castle and on unpublished small finds from previous excavation.Sections across the defences have confirmed the existence of a ditch S. of the castle corresponding to that on the E. and of a wide upcast bank and other features in front of the gatehouse.Excavation pr…
A Dark-Age Settlements at Maxey, Northants
A dark-age settlement was discovered at Maxey during gravel-quarrying and partly excavated before destruction to reveal at least seven rectangular buildings ranging from 30 ft. to 50 ft. in length and 16 ft. to 20 ft. in width. They were all of post-hole construction but there were instances of post-holes in trenches, post-holes joined by wall-trenches, and, once, a central beam-slot. Near by were smaller ancillary structures including pits surro…

Excavations at Dun Cuier, Isle of Barra, Outer Hebrides
During the last season of excavation at the Aisled Farmhouse of Tigh Talamhanta, at the head of the Allasdale, trial trenching was undertaken at the adjacent site of Dun Cuier, in the hope of ascertaining the relationship of these structures.The material recovered seemed of sufficient significance to warrant further examination of the Dun and, with the generous support of this Society, two seasons, each of three weeks duration, have been spent in…
