Excavation by P Jones of SCAU prior to residential development. The substructure of a substantial Roman tile kiln and associated features were discovered in an area where evidence of tile production had been found previously, but no standing kiln had previously been recorded archaeologically. The surviving remains were of a rectangular updraught structure, including stokehole, fire tunnel, combustion chamber and drainage system. The kiln was constructed largely of flat-staked tiles in a clay matrix (that had itself become fired during use), although the façade of the fire tunnel involved the use of squared and tooled blocks of Upper Greensand. This is thought to be the earliest recorded example of Reigate stone being used in this way. Some ambiguities regarding the date of the use of the kiln were apparent, as the pottery date of the second half of the 2nd century does not correspond with the AD 90–120 archaeomagnetic date of the last kiln firing. Little evidence for the tiles fired in the kiln was revealed, it being only a presumption that the wasters found scattered around the site in secondary contexts relate to production from this kiln. Following exposure and recording, the majority of the kiln was lifted in sections by members of SyAS, to enable storage and hopefully reconstruction
