Abstract
Brickmaking was introduced into this country by the Roman army during the first century AD and the earliest bricks to be found in Leicestershire are likely to have been made by the Roman army. This paper traces the development of brickmaking in the country, but because of the absence of brickmaking sites the evolution of the craft is charted by examining dated buildings. Reference is made to the building accounts of Kirby Muxloe castle which were studied and published in an earlier volume of these Transactions. The production of brick is traced through to 1710, by which time brickmaking had become established in nearly every rural community as it was in urban centres around the county. There are few documentary sources for brickmaking in Leicestershire before 1710, but those which have been discovered are included in appendices.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
