Monument record SKT 067 - 15th century corn kiln and 19th century malthouse identifed at 24 Stowupland Street

Archaeological features of significance were found in three of the five trenches. In trench 2, a 15th century kiln was recorded. Environmental evidence suggests that it was regularly used, possibly for corn drying. In trenches 4 and 5 the foundations and floor of a 19th century malthouse were discovered, the floor in trench 4 sealing large sherds of a dripping dish dating to the 15th to 16th century. Ordnance survey maps from 1886 to 1927 show the presence of a tramline on the site, a possible branch of which can still be found outside of the site on the north western perimeter (S1).
