Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation carried out on land at Pyde Drove, near Woolavington, Somerset (centred on ST 3531 4299), was undertaken by AC archaeology during January 2014. The excavation investigated part of a saltern or briquetage mound that was associated with Roman salt production, an industry that was wide-spread on the Somerset Levels during this period. Excavations exposed the mound with a number of adjacent pits representing settling tanks and a small number of water-management channels. Roman pottery recovered from the mound has dated its use to around the 3rd century AD. An assemblage of briquetage found within the saltern, much of which was diagnostic, has provided further insight into the practical nature of salt production.
