Roman kilns 25 yards northeast of Fairyhill Cottage is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the remains of pottery production facilities dating to the Roman period. The site lies in Lancashire and represents evidence of local ceramic manufacture during Roman occupation of Britain. The kilns would have served to produce pottery vessels for domestic use and trade within the regional Roman economy. Such installations are significant archaeological resources for understanding Romano-British craft production and settlement patterns in the north-western provinces.
