CP

Found at Firth of Forth, Inverkeithing.

Unidentified maker but find location may suggest it has Scottish origins.

Cruicks Pottery and Terra- cotta Works were situated on the same bay as the find location of this CP marked brick.

I am sure this is a firebrick so is it possible that Cruicks Pottery Works made firebricks. I am going to run with this theory meantime.
