Narrative

    • A likely late Roman corn drying oven located in trench 3. The main structure of the corn drier was constructed out of stone and tile. Only half of the drier was seen in the trench, it looked like there were two flues either side of a stoking pit. It extended for 4m from the limit of the trench, was 3.65m wide and 0.72m deep. To the south of this corn drier is another potential drier F301.
