Ovens, Pair of, Caernarfon
Primary Reference Number (PRN) : 92427 Trust : Gwynedd Community : Caernarfon Unitary authority : Gwynedd NGR : SH4845262493 Site Type (preferred type first) : ROMAN OVEN
Summary : A pair of ovens of Roman date.
Description : The second pair, 121 and 122, occupied a slightly raised area on the western side of the site. These again comprised hard reddened clay walls. Oven 121 was circular with an internal diameter of 0.5m and an opening on the north-east. Oven 122 was rectangular with dimensions of 0.6 m x 0.9m and probably opened to the south-west. It can be assumed that these simple clay walled ovens were fairly short-lived suggesting that the mound associated with them was the result of a succession of rebuilds and re-firings over time (Hopewell, 2020).
