The 1847 Keswick Tithe map indicates a ‘Brick Ground’ at this location (S2). The site is centred on TG 2028 0387. The boundary ditches relating to the edge of this brick kiln, as depicted on the Tithe map, are visible on aerial photographs (S3). A pair of ditches to the east of the brick kiln enclosure were also mapped. It is not clear whether these ditches were also associated with brick making activity at the site or whether they were field boundaries, also of a broadly post medieval date, that had gone out of use by 1847 (S2).
