Leigh--

As Carl Steen noted (thanks for the plug, Carl), I did my dissertation
research on commercial brickmaking operations on SC coastal plantations.
Almost every one of these sites had associated slave quarters and overseer's
houses.  We excavated two of the occupation areas associated with the
brickyards, and Brockington & Associates in Mt. Pleasant, SC also excavated
several in the area (ask for Eric Poplin).

By the way, Carl, the South Carolina landscape book is Univ. Tenn.
press--still in print as far as I know.  Linda Stine was principal editor.
For those who are interested, the citation is:

        Stine, Linda F., Martha Zierden, Lesley M. Drucker and Christopher Judge
          1997  Carolina's Historical Landscapes:  Archaeological
Perspectives.

In addition to bricks and iron, there is also a chapter on tar and pitch
production (naval stores were a big user of slave labor).
