Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out at Euston Estate, near Fakenham Magna in Suffolk, following a desk-based assessment and geophysical survey. A total of forty-five trenches were excavated, targeting an area for a proposed reservoir, on a site known as Wash Pits field. The works revealed that the site had been used in the mid-late 17th and early 18th centuries for the quarrying of clay and subsequent firing of bricks, with various quarry pits and two kilns being recorded, with the eponymous Wash Pits forming part of the clay purification process. Two field drainage systems may have been associated with this phase of activity. The main finds from this period consisted of misfired brick and tile fragments. Several other post-medieval ditches and non-quarry pits, thought to be associated with the brick-making activity, were also recorded. Earlier features were found on the northern and southern edges of the site and consisted of Roman ditches, producing Roman pottery, as well as two undated ditches and an undated pit, which are assumed to either be later prehistoric or Roman. The features were all well preserved as the site had not been heavily ploughed, having been planted with trees in the post-medieval period.
