Where Mr Farrar's works now stand, a quantity of earthenware was dug up a few years ago. Mr Farrar informs us that it was arranged in what appeared to be a kiln, 3ft wide and about 2ft deep. The sides of the kiln were plastered with brick clay of varying thicknesses, and the pottery had been arranged around a central fire. All the vessels, which were of grey earthenware, similar to those found at Brough, and with identical mouldings, were unfortunately broken. Mr Farrar and his friends retained a number of pieces, but most of the articles were thrown away before the significance of the discovery was recognised. (1)
