The Keys to the Past website says "This is the site of two kilns where pottery was made. The pottery was founded in the mid 19th century and closed in 1910. It made simple pottery objects, such as chimney pots and roof tiles. The kilns are built of brick and are of a type known as bottle kilns because of their bottle-like shape. The buildings and kilns at this site are Grade II listed buildings protected by law."
