The site of a kiln that was used in the building of Roman Britain's second-largest town is being excavated.Archaeologists and volunteers have spent some of the past three years working to uncover more of the kiln, which they have said was used to build Cirencester, in Gloucestershire, and other places.
Tiles from the site at Brandier, a tiny hamlet near Minety in Wiltshire, have markings found on artefacts over a large area - as far as Old Sarum, near Hereford, the Cotswolds and Reading.The owners of the site hope to open it up to the public.Bits of tile had been found on the top of the field where the dig is happening.
Neil Holbrook - CEO of Cotswold Archaeology which is running the dig - explained that 200 years ago an expert found a stamped tile in a Roman villa near Cirencester, saw the letters stamped on it and wondered where it came from.Now the site, which he described as what would have been a "major regional industry" for creating Roman buildings, is being excavated.
"We had hoped we might find something here, but we had no idea we would. It's absolutely exceeded all expectations," he added.
