Narrative

    • Roman corn dryer. Cut [4100] and then stone lined 4622, 4847, 4624 and 4828. Fire at W end to dry corn, this has left bring at the base of two flues (4702) and (4723). There is also some brunt material that has built up against the stone lining (4630). The corn dryer after going out of use silted up (4098), (4099), (4101), (4108), (4623), (4109), (4631), (4628), (4627), (4626) and (4629). after the corn dryer went of use the stone was robbed [4620] and [4833]. The robber cut filled with slump from the silting from within the corn dryer, making the cuts difficult to see. There is a circular dump of stone and tile (4887) either from the robbing of the stone lining or from the atonement of the corn dryer.
