Excavated in 1982 by Jeff Taylor for the Carlisle Archaeological
Unit. The site remains unpublished. The kiln base excavated is
circular in plan with one fire mouth. A site plan at the scale
of 1:10, two photographs and six transparencies, supplied by the
excavator form the basis for the figure. The massive dimensions
of the foundation suggest a tall bottle shaped chimney similar
in appearance to the Broseley kilns of the Southorn family
(see Figures 71 & 72).
There is no evidence that this kiln ever contained a muffle.
A large quantity of fragments from cylindrical
saggars were recovered. The surviving structure is consistent
with an updraught design. There are no intramural or subterranean
flues. Samuel Hamilton is believed to have worked from c. 1854
to his death in 1885 (Taylor in litt 2 October 1992).
