An industrial pottery kiln dating to the Roman period was discovered to the northeast of the Swanpool estate and excavated by Graham Webster and Norman Booth in 1945. The kiln produced a wide variety of wares, which were distributed throughout the Roman city of Lindum Colonia and as far as the Humber.
