Capheaton tilery is a Romano-British industrial site located in Northumberland. The tilery represents evidence of ceramic production during the Roman occupation of Britain, when tile and pottery manufacturing formed an essential part of the supply chain for military and civilian structures across the northern frontier. The site demonstrates the Roman exploitation of local clay resources and the integration of industrial production into the settlement pattern of the region. Remains of kilns and associated manufacturing debris constitute the primary archaeological evidence of this activity.
