Place & story

From a kiln to a building platform

Archaeological work at Woodhouse in late 2013 and 2014 found repeated scorching from a large kiln beneath the standing house. Dave Pollock’s report describes the kiln’s removal and the filling of a water channel to create a level building platform. A small timber structure followed before the stone house. South of the house, investigators also found parts of a cobbled yard and stone buildings used in the seventeenth century. One may have been a water-powered mill, but that identification remains tentative. [2]
