Possible Roman pottery kiln sites at Milfordhope are listed as follows:-

Area centred approximately TQ 86156940. Pottery, including local-type ware, dating from the mid-late 1st century was found by G.H. Wilby in 1962. Probable kiln in vicinity.

Unlocated, but possibly in same general area as previous site. Patches of burnt earth, ash, pottery, `kiln bricks' salting or pottery manufacture. The site is probably now destroyed by tidal erosion.
