C14 Radiocarbon Dating - Sample - SUERC-2634
SUERC-2634
Carbonised oat grains from a band of charcoal within spread of material 8019 surrounding the bowl end of a kiln. The band of charcoal is thought to represent a burnt down wattle fence, sealed by a mixture of silting and kiln debris. The context seals post-holes, possibly forming a structure around the bowl end of the kiln. The site includes evidence for a Medieval chapel; burials; metalworking debris and a corn-drying kiln
