Near the site of some ancient Roman kilns, this scheme uses a replica of a Roman kiln as it's centre piece. Community artist Bill Billings was commissioned to sculpt the kiln in concrete. |  |

| The traditional kiln took the form of a clay 'igloo' (flu to one side, hole at the top acting as a chimney). These would have been built on-site around the craftsman's clay-ware, over a slow burning fire. Once the pots were fired the kiln had to be broken in order to retrieve the contents. |
