Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on behalf of HSP Consulting at Great Casterton Primary School, Great Casterton, Rutland in advance of a new extension to the current school building and the laying of a temporary haul road to facilitate the proposed ground-works. The school lies close to the ramparts of the Roman town and close to a Roman fort. It is also close to Ermine Street RomanRoad. Excavations in the during the construction of the school in 1959 revealed Roman burials and two pottery kilns were found nearby. Two trenches were placed in the school grounds: Trench 01, excavated across a grassy bank leading from a hard playing area to the rear of the school, revealed a layer of made-up ground and a modern concrete pad. Trench 02, excavated to the rear of the school in a tight space, revealed part of a Romano-British pottery kiln, containing several sherds of Romano-British pottery and fragments of kiln lining and kiln furniture, dating the kiln to the late 2nd to early 3rd century. The kiln is similar in form to two other Romano-British pottery kilns discovered in the area in the late 1950s, indicating that the school grounds lie in an area where further Romano-British discoveries are likely. The archive for this project will be deposited with Rutland County Museum, Oakham, with accession number OAKRM: 2011.5
