Ovens, Pair of, Caernarfon
Primary Reference Number (PRN) : 92429 Trust : Gwynedd Community : Caernarfon Unitary authority : Gwynedd NGR : SH4846962482 Site Type (preferred type first) : ROMAN OVEN Status : Scheduled Monument
Summary : A pair of ovens of Roman date.
Description : The most southerly pair (123 and 124) comprised two circular walls of red fired clay with openings on the north-eastern side and was surrounded by less-consolidated heat-affected clay. They were quite small, with internal diameters of 0.35m and 0.5m, and had floors of small stones. Patches of charcoal to the north-east were presumably the result of raking out ashes from the ovens (Hopewell, 2020).
