Monument record MDO44609 - Kiln, Home Farm, Bettiscombe
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Foundations of a rectangular updraught kiln were excavated in a field at Bettiscombe Farm in 1970. The bricks found there were of the same type as the manor house, and the kiln, being thought to be capable of firing 30-40,000 bricks at one time, probably served the needs of the estate. The kiln has not been dated, but probably ceased work circa 1920.
