A Roman tilery and two pottery kilns at Durovernum (Canterbury)

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  29 November 2011

Extract

In December 1952, while employed in levelling the ground prior to the construction of the approach to the new Cattle Market site at St. Stephen's Road, Canterbury, the driver of the mechanical excavator, Mr. Claude Jarvis, noticed a few pieces of Roman pottery and immediately informed the writer of the discovery. From then on a close watch was kept on the site for any structural remains. After a few days an extensive area of burnt brick-earth was encountered, followed soon afterwards by the tops of two walls lying parallel to each other. It was then arranged for the site to be excavated under the auspices of the Canterbury Excavation Committee, the present writer undertaking the direction of the work. The results of this investigation form the subject of this report.
