Four Medieval Pottery-Kilns on Woodhouse Farm, Winksley, near Ripon, W. Riding of Yorkshire
Year: 1970
Type: article
Abstract: FOUR kilns of roughly contemporary date included both double and multi-flued types. They were without internal structure and had been surrounded by low stone walls with clay flue arches. Pierced daub fragments indicated a superstructure of clay packed round a framework of stakes. Round the two largest kilns were a number of waster-filled pits with bases reddened but not fired. Roof-tiles and pottery were manufactured. The dominant decorative motif of the pottery was complex wedge rouletting similar to that found at Aardenburg (Holland), but examples of most of the ornament common in NE. England were present, as were knight jugs and zoomorphic forms.
