Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Blakedowns, to undertake an Archaeological Watching Brief during works in advance of a new play facility at Prentice Place, Carter Mead, Harlow, Essex. During the second phase of works a rectangular structure was uncovered and comprised an external wall of Roman tile and brick, and four internal walls all aligned east-west and each formed from one large Roman brick. The pottery ranges in date from the 3rd to 4th centuries AD. Due to development plans and time restrictions it was deemed necessary to only record the structure in plan with the aim of preserving the structure in situ and moving the development impact accordingly. Located along the eastern and southern edges of this structure and extending eastwards was a large spread consisting of a mixture of heavily concentrated tile and CBM deposits. The large quantities of overfired and underfired CBM suggest that the structure could have functioned as a tile kiln. However, the assessment of the CBM suggests that the varying fabric types present and the several styles of combing on the box flue tiles are not typical of a single point of manufacture. It could be possible that the structure may have functioned as a bath house instead; box flue tiles and possible hypocaust bricks can all be associated with a bath house. The nature of the spreads outside the structure could be associated with either a kiln or a bath house.
