Abstract:		 In October 2006, North Pennines Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Dearham Parish Council and Johnston and Wright Architects to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at Pottery Park, Dearham, Cumbria (NGR NY 0662 3575), prior to a proposed scheme for a community recreation project. The results of the evaluation succeeded in identifying archaeological remains dating to the early 19th century. Large quantities of earthenware pottery were uncovered, particularly in the northern corner of the field where a midden or rubbish tip was identified, almost entirely made up of dumped pottery sherds. The midden effectively lay in the back yard of the pottery, and yard surfaces made up of crushed ceramic waste were also found adjacent. Remnants of the pottery buildings themselves were also uncovered. The buildings formed an L-shaped block, extending across the middle of the development area. Both ends of the block, which survived as upstanding walls, were investigated, and were found to survive in excellent condition. The floors were flagged originally, but appear to have been replaced in brick as they wore out, as this was the cheapest useable material; some of the bricks had stamps, which identified that they had been made locally, at Broughton Moor and at Dearham Colliery. To the south-east of the buildings, a lane originally led into the front yard; both the lane and yard used pottery and saggers as hardcore in their construction, and an arrangement of infilled settling pans was located adjacent, where the clay was weathered before use. A number of the settling pans were lined with brick and stone.
