Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological excavation in advance of development on land east of Moorfield Road and south of the A505, Duxford, revealed an early Roman pottery production site dating to the first few decades after the Roman Conquest (c. AD 50-80/100). Six pottery kilns were identified, several of which were very well preserved. These were associated with large assemblages of pottery, mostly produced in the kilns, and, most significantly, an exceptionally large and diagnostic assemblage of kiln plates used to construct the suspended floors upon which the kiln load was placed during firing. The site forms part of a group of other early Roman kiln sites in the Cambridge environs, including those at Addenbrooke's and Greenhouse Farm. The kilns were predominantly used for firing flagons, in a range of fabrics. Both the techniques being used and the repertoire of vessels suggest that the manufacturing was being carried out by itinerant potters who had learned their trade on the Continent. The kilns were located in an area of agricultural infield, likely to have been mainly used as damp grazing for cattle, on the periphery of an unidentified settlement, probably to the west. Use of the site both for agriculture and pottery production, as well as evidence for nearby occupation, came to an abrupt end in the late 1st century.
