Full Description

'MAIDEN NEWTON (SY61405980) A small group of Roman, medieval and post-medieval sherds was collected from the surface of a ploughed field at Crockway Farm by students of the DIHE in the spring of 1985. The name suggested that evidence for a pottery industry might be found in this area but the material recovered included neither wasters nor kiln furniture. The material is deposited in Dorset County Museum.' (1)
