Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation and watching brief was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) for Newlife Ltd at Great Casterton Primary School, Pickworth Road, Great Casterton (SK 999 092). The work followed on from an earlier evaluation at the site, which revealed part of a partially damaged Romano-British pottery kiln and was in advance of a new extension to the main school building. Most of the area in the footprint of the proposed new building was stripped by machine. Another part of the main kiln structure was uncovered along with part of the stoke-pit of the kiln. Many artefacts were retrieved including parts of kiln bars, a large amount of kiln-produced pottery and other forms of pottery not associated with the kiln. A further pit feature, cut into the limestone and showing signs of burning was found at the opposite end of the trench to the main kiln. It was thought this maybe a second stoke pit for a second kiln, but a watching brief carried out during ground-works on the foundation trenches of the new building did not reveal any evidence for a further kiln. The purpose of this pit is unknown. The firing chamber of the kiln falls outside the main development area and was reburied.
