Column Ride is a Romano-British pottery kiln site located within Savernake Forest in Wiltshire. The kiln remains, identified through archaeological survey and excavation, date to the Roman period and represent evidence of ceramic production within the forest landscape during Romano-British occupation. The site's location within Savernake suggests the exploitation of local clay resources and forest resources for kiln firing, contributing to understanding of Romano-British industrial activity in the Wiltshire region. The surviving archaeological features provide material evidence for the organisation of pottery manufacture away from major settlement centres during the later Iron Age and Roman periods.
