Post-Roman and Medieval Drying Kilns
Drying kilns, corn-dryers and malting ovens are increasingly familiar features in post-Roman, Anglo-Saxon and medieval archaeology. Despite the significance and growing corpus of these structures, exceptionally few works of synthesis have been published. Their forms, functions and distributions offer critical insights into agricultural, technological, economic and dietary history across the British Isles.
