Abstract:		 In March and April 2016 Oxford Archaeology East undertook a 0.37ha excavation at RAF Brampton, Cambridgeshire (centred TF 2087 7007), which focused upon an area of prehistoric and possible post-medieval activity defined by evaluation in 2015. Whilst the excavation revealed some of the remains anticipated from the trial trenching, the most significant and unexpected result of the investigation was the discovery eight Early Roman pottery kilns clustered in the south-east corner of the site. The pottery kilns contained in-situ pedestals alongside clay plates, spacers and large quantities of Roman pottery including wasters. These kilns date to 60-80 AD and largely produced lid seated jars with their lids. These kilns were particularly well preserved and provide an insight into Early Roman pottery production in this area of Cambridgeshire, adding to a growing corpus of broadly contemporary kiln sites in the county, such as those at Swavesey, Duxford, Greenhouse Farm and the Addenbrooke's Hutchison Site. Other features dating to the Roman period at the site included a small number of pits, ditches and gullies, one of the ditches appearing to represent a southern boundary to kiln field. West of the kiln area, a small number of features were uncovered dating to the Iron Age. These comprised the partial remains of a large sub-rectangular enclosure, an additional ditch and a series of small pits and post-holes. Very few finds were recovered from these features, suggesting the focus of occupation lay beyond the excavation area.
