Great Linford Brickworks is a post-medieval industrial site in Buckinghamshire, England, representing the clay extraction and brick manufacturing industry that developed in the region during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The site comprises evidence of clay pits, kilns, and associated structures typical of early modern brickworks operations. The brickworks exploited the local clay deposits that made the area suitable for pottery and brick production, contributing to the broader industrial development of the Linford area. The surviving archaeological remains document an important phase in English vernacular building material production before the mechanisation of the nineteenth century.
