What this record tells us
A post-medieval saggar was recovered in Etnam Street, recorded as HWCM 21950 in Buteux’s assessment. A saggar is a protective container used during pottery firing.
The find raises a question about pottery manufacture or the movement of workshop waste. It does not by itself establish a kiln in Etnam Street. The finder, recovery date and precise property remain unresolved.
