GLYN, LLANBEDRGOCH, ANGLESEY: ARCHAEOMAGNETIC DATING REPORT 2001
Author(s): Paul Linford, P Rauxloh
During excavations by Dr Mark Redknap of the National Museums and Galleries of Wales at Glyn, Llanbedrgoch on Anglesey, a burnt feature was discovered which consisted of a concentration of limestone blocks set in a matrix of apparently heated clay. The blocks were arranged in a roughly circular form with a diameter of about one metre and it was postulated that they formed the lining of an oven of early-medieval date. The feature was sampled for archaeomagnetic analysis by Peter Rauxloh of the Museum of London Archaeology Service, to determine the date of its last firing. Unfortunately, it had not been heated to a sufficient temperature to consistently magnetise either the limestone blocks or the clay matrix and so an archaeomagnetic date could not be achieved.
