Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Phases of geophysical survey and evaluation, strip and map and excavation were carried out on the site known as Wash Pits Field, which forms part of Euston Estate in Suffolk. Limited levels of Bronze Age or Iron Age struck flint were recovered from four contexts. There was no other evidence for prehistoric occupation. A Roman field system, dated tentatively to the mid 2nd century-4th century was also recorded, which produced limited levels of pottery and appeared to have been modified on at least two occasions. The main area of interest was the discovery of a 16th century brick and tile kiln of the Suffolk type and a larger and more elaborate late 17th/18th century version. These both showed evidence of various repairs and were associated with the widespread quarrying first identified in the evaluation and geophysical survey, and that was shown in the strip and map to spread across the majority of the site. Wash pits and settling ponds used for purifying and draining the clay were also recorded. Finds recovered from this main period of activity were somewhat limited, although ceramic building material (CBM), including bricks from the fabric of the structures, as well as waster products fired in the kilns were collected. There were also small quantities of animal bone, clay tobacco pipe, heated flints and Iron nails. Results from the bulk samples indicate that wood and bracken were used for fuelling the kilns, with the inclusion of crop waste.
