^{page 83 note 1} One pottery waster each from West Grimstead and Ashley Hill, Petersfinger (in Salisbury Museum). In 1354, 64,000 tiles were bought for £12 16s. od, 1,000 hip tiles for 15s., and 50 crests for 2s. 6d. from Alderbury for Clarendon Palace (Clarendon Works Accts. P.R.O. E. 101/459/29). We are indebted to Mr. H. M. Colvin for this reference and for others from the same accounts which indicate that there was a separate roof-tile industry (at Alderbury) operating at least during the period 1354–88. Of greater importance are documentary references kindly provided by Mrs. H. J. le Patourel as these possibly refer to the Laverstock pottery kilns. Willelmus le Potter and John le Potter are recorded (Min. Acc. 12, 17 Edward II, P.R.O. S.C. 6 1050/5a, 1050/7), as having 1 rood of brushwood (subboscum) in Clarendon Park and Forest. John le Potter specifically in the coppices of Asshele (Ashley), Chesil and Catsgrove. Ashley and Cattsgrove can still be identified and are on the western boundary of the Park on the downs above the kiln sites. Thus there is documentary evidence for kilns operating during the period 1318–23. References she has provided from the Calendar, Liberate Rolls (vol. 6), also show that kilns were operating in 1270. One records an allocation to the sheriff of Wilts, of 25s. for 1,000 pitchers bought and carried from Muleford (Milford); the present site adjoins the river at Milford bridge and, in the thirteenth century, would have been described as of Milford. Also of interest is an entry in 1268 of an allocation for 1,000 pitchers (20s.) which includes an additional 5s. for their carriage from Clarendon to Winchester thus suggesting that Laverstock wares may yet be identified at Winchester and, if so, their presence could be due to ‘secondary trading’ as part of the effects of the Royal household.

^{page 83 note 3} By Mr. Wilmot, a Laverstock resident.

^{page 83 note 4} All the pottery has been presented to Salisbury Museum by the landowner, Mr. E. Fielden, for whose help in all ways we are most grateful. Thanks are also due to the Ministry of Public Building and Works for the grant-in-aid. The investigation could not have been undertaken without the help of a large number of volunteers, many of them members of the Salisbury Museum Research Group. Throughout the excavation and subsequently, much practical help and encouragement was provided by Mr. Hugh Shortt, Dr. Gerald Dunning, Mr. John Hurst, and Mr. R. S. Newall. Finally Prof, E. M. Jope read the draft report and provided valuable textual criticism.

^{page 85 note 1} An hitherto unmapped deposit revealed recently during the laying of the Fawley-Avonmouth pipeline.

^{page 85 note 2} It should be pointed out that there is a considerable scatter of wasters on the south side of the Clarendon road to the east of the 1940 discovery. The full extent of the kiln area will not be known, therefore, until building takes place over a much larger area, which has consequently been scheduled under the Ancient Monuments Acts. The site of the present excavation is permanently commemorated by the name ‘Potters Way’, which has been given to the new road which revealed it.

^{page 90 note 1} Since the preparation of this report a replica Laverstock kiln has been fired as one of a series of experimental kilns at Leeds (in August 1967). A note on this firing will be found on p. 150.

^{page 92 note 3} The assumption that this was the case is based on the stylistic difference between the pottery from the various kilns. However, the pottery from two of the kilns (2 and 6) is sufficiently similar to suggest that Kilns 2 and were broadly contemporary and an exception to this general assumption.
