The Medieval Pottery Kiln

7 December 2018 Off By admin

A very well-preserved medieval pottery kiln was discovered under Newport Memorial Hall. Only recently has it had the money and expertise to preserve and display it properly. I have been working with people at the hall to support them while they develop a website to showcase the kiln.

The new site, MedievalPotteryKilnNewport.com, has gone live today after a lot of work migrating it from the initial development domain. Keep an eye on this website for lots of information, updates, school activities and videos.

I went to Porth y Rhaw, just outside of Solva, to visit Fran Murphy and her team from Dyfed Archaeological Trust as they excavated an Iron Age promontory fort. It’s an impressive place, you can hear visitors being shown around the site at one point and, of course, the wind and waves crashing below us all the way through.
