Bovey Potteries is a pottery manufacturing site located near Bovey Tracey in Devon, dating to the medieval and early modern periods. The site represents evidence of ceramic production that served local and regional markets, with archaeological remains including kiln structures and pottery debris characteristic of medieval and post-medieval pottery working. The location on the eastern edge of Dartmoor reflects the historical distribution of pottery production across Devon, where suitable clay deposits and access to fuel supported craft industries. The surviving archaeological features and surface scatters provide important material evidence for understanding ceramic manufacturing techniques and domestic pottery supply in the southwest of England during these periods.
