1 GLOUCESTERSHIRE Cotswold 1/405 (B.23.H005) SU COTSWOLD EASTERN SPINE ROAD STAGE 4 Cotswold Eastern Spine Road Stage 4 and Horcott Road. Watkins, K Gloucester : Gloucestershire County Council Archaeology Service, 2002, 19pp, pls, figs, tabs, refs Work undertaken by: Gloucestershire County Council Archaeology Service An impact assessment was carried out on the proposed road improvement scheme. A possible prehistoric enclosure was noted along the route. Medieval ridge and furrow was identified and a possible medieval drainage ditch. A field system is also present in the area dating to the Iron Age/Romano-British period. Part of a canal would also be impacted, along with an arched aqueduct. [Au(abr)] SMR primary record number: Archaeological periods represented: IA, MD, PM, PR, RO 1/406 (B.23.F005) SP DOWDESWELL COURT, LOWER DOWDESWELL, CHELTENHAM Dowdeswell Court, Lower Dowdeswell, Cheltenham. Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment Stoten, G Cirencester : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2002, 30pp, colour pls, pls, figs, tabs, refs There was thought to be evidence for the potential of previously unrecorded medieval or earlier remains in the vicinity. Norman activity has been recorded in the northern area of the site and occupation may have continued up to the construction of the manor house in the 17th century. Earlier occupation was regarded to be focussed away from the site. [Au(adp)] 1/407 (B.23.F006) SP LAND AT BARTON LANE, CIRENCESTER Land at Barton Lane, Cirencester Morton, R Cirencester : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2002, 28pp, figs, refs Potential for Roman remains at the site was identified, with Barton Roman Villa situated in close proximity. An early medieval cemetery was suspected nearby. Potential environmental evidence associated with earlier water courses may also have been recovered. [Au(adp)] 1/408 (B.23.F001) SO LAND AT BRIZEN FARM, LECKHAMPTON, CHELTENHAM Land at Brizen Farm, Leckhampton, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire Morton, R Cirencester : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2002, 20pp, figs, refs 1

2 Adjacent to the study area lay two sites of interest, a post-medieval field name and a Roman site of ambiguous nature. The only features identifed within the area were a number of boundaries, which were afforded statutory protection under the Hedgerows Act [Au(adp)] Archaeological periods represented: PM 1/409 (B.23.F010) ST LAND AT STONEWALLS, CIRENCESTER Stonewalls, Cirencester. An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment Stoten, G Cirencester : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2002, 24pp, figs, tabs, refs The assessment identified five areas of high status building in the vicinity, one of which was located within the site. It was unknown whether they were seperate sites or part of the same building complex. There was thought to be potential for well-preserved remains at this site, as a large part lay in the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Cirencester town. In general, the area was archaeologically sensitive. [Au(adp)] Archaeological periods represented: UD 1/410 (B.23.F004) SO LAND AT SYDE PARK, BRIMPSFIELD Land at Syde Park, Brimpsfield. Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment Morton, R Cirencester : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2002, 25pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs The assessment was carried out to identify the implications of development prior to a planning appeal. Earthworks at the site were thought to relate to land boundaries but were undated and of uncertain origin. There may also have been a low potential for below-ground archaeological features associated with these deposits. [Au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: UD 1/411 (B.23.F013) SP MANOR FARM, TEMPLE GUITING Manor Farm, Temple Guiting, Gloucestershire. Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment Morton, R Cirencester : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2002, 26pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs The site, a Grade I Listed Building, was subjected to the assessment prior to landscaping and structural works in the grounds of the manor building. Surviving elements of medieval enclosure were thought to be represented by earthworks in the study area. There was further potential for medieval occupation next to the existing bridge south of the main pond. A mill was recorded on an estate plan of 1603, and there was thought to be potential for further remains. It was thought possible that unrecorded belowground structures may have survived in the vicinity of Manor Farmhouse itself. [Au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: MD, PM 2

No known archaeology is recorded for the site but the was identified as being close to a Roman Villa and settlement and may have potential for prehistoric occupation. [Au(abr)] SMR primary record number: Archaeological periods represented: RO 1/413 (B.23.F008) SP OLD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, CIRENCESTER The Old Memorial Hospital, Cirencester. Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment Stoten, G Cirencester : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2002, 23pp, figs, refs Previous investigaions at the site had pointed to Roman settlement and quarrying, likely to have been associated with the second phase of Roman occupation in the town. No evidence for medieval structures were present, but post-medieval remains were though to have impacted on the upper deposits, although the Roman remains should have escaped. However, the basement of the hospital and an air raid shelter would have destroyed all remains. The site was considered more archaeologically sensitive at the eastern end of the site. [Au(adp)] Archaeological periods represented: RO 1/414 (B.23.H004) SP QUERNS SCHOOL, CIRENCESTER Querns School, Cirencester Masefield, R Oxford : RPS Consultants, 2002, 73pp, figs, tabs, refs Work undertaken by: RPS Consultants An assessment was carried out on a proposed development on the site. The school building is a Grade II Listed Building. The site is located within Insula III of the Roman town and previous work has identified a well and a Roman Villa on the site. Further Roman archaeology is expected on the site. [Au(abr)] SMR primary record number: Archaeological periods represented: PM, RO 1/415 (B.23.H009) SU RAF FAIRFORD RAF Fairford; Internal Perimeter Road Development Hoad, S London : Museum of London Archaeology Service, 2002, 48pp, figs, tabs, refs Work undertaken by: Museum of London Archaeology Service An archaeological impact assessment was carried out on the proposed development area. Previous archaeology work close and within the area point to the area having potential for occasional Neolithic 3

4 finds, Iron Age and medieval occupation deposits and a medieval boundary. Roman remains were identified as being concentrated away from the development area. [Au(abr)] SMR primary record number: Archaeological periods represented: IA, MD, NE Forest of Dean 1/416 (B.23.H001) SO HURST FARM, LYDNEY Hurst Farm, Lydney, Gloucestershire Chadwick, P & Hunter, J Gloucester : CgMs, 2002, 141pp, figs, tabs, refs Work undertaken by: CgMs An archaeological desk-based assessment was carried out on the proposed development area. No known archaeology has been recovered or identified from the area. The potential for archaeology in all periods was identified as low to none. [Au(abr)] SMR primary record number: /417 (B.23.H002) SO LAND EAST OF LYDNEY Land East of Lydney, Glouscestershire Chadwick, P & Hunter, J Gloucester : CgMs, 2002, 156pp, figs, tabs, refs Work undertaken by: CgMs An archaeological assessment was carried out on the proposed development area. The potential for archaeology prior to the late medieval period was identified as low to none. A high potential for late medieval and post-medieval occupation around Rodney Manor was identified. The rest of the area was under agricultural use. [Au(abr)] SMR primary record number: Archaeological periods represented: MD, PM 1/418 (B.23.H006) SO NAAS COURT FARM NAAS Court Farm, Lydney King, A Bristol : Bristol and Region Archaeological Services, 2002, 23pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs Work undertaken by: Bristol and Region Archaeological Services An archaeological assessment was carried out on the proposed development area. Although evaluations just outside the evaluation area were negative, the assessment identified the potential for archaeology.

5 Watkins, K Gloucester : Gloucestershire County Council Archaeology Service, 2002, 30pp, pls, figs, tabs Work undertaken by: Gloucestershire County Council Archaeology Service An archaeological assessment was carried out on the proposed development site. Part of a Roman Road was identified across the tip of the site. Roman street frontages may be present in the area and excavations close to the site identified land boundaries, kilns and garden soil for the Roman period. The site is also expected to contain a late Roman cemetery, as a burial had been found previously on the site. Medieval occupation is expected as the site is just outside the Eastgate area and post-medieval occupation and civil wall defences may also have survived. [Au(abr)] SMR primary record number: Archaeological periods represented: MD, PM, RO 1/420 (B.23.H008) SO SOUTHGATE STREET Southgate Street, Gloucester Nichols, P Gloucester : Gloucestershire County Council Archaeology Service, 2002, 9pp, figs, tabs, refs Work undertaken by: Gloucestershire County Council Archaeology Service An assessment was undertaken on the proposed development site. The assessment established that significant archaeological deposits of Roman, Saxon, medieval and post-medieval date are present within the development area. [Au(abr)] SMR primary record number: Archaeological periods represented: EM, MD, PM, RO Innsworth 1/421 (B.23.F002) SO LAND AT CHELTENHAM ROAD EAST, INNSWORTH Land at Cheltenham Road East, Innsworth, Gloucestershire Morton, R Cirencester : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2002, 24pp, figs, tabs, refs The site lay within a wider area of known prehistoric and Roman settlement, although the study area itself was not known to hold evidence for this. The site was concerned with medieval and postmedieval land enclosure and field boundaries, although none were extant. A WWII heavy anti-aircraft battery was located in the area. Sewage workings prior to the study were thought to have impacted on the archaeology of the area. [Au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: MO Stroud 1/422 (B.23.F009) ST GIG MILL, NAILSWORTH Land at Gig Mill, Nailswort. Archaeologial Desk-Based Assessment Morton, R Cirencester : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2002, 20pp, figs, tabs, refs 5

6 The site comprised many buildings, although the Mill itself was singled out for the greatest archaeological potential. There were documentary references to a mill in the 16th century; however it was not known whether this stood on the same site or elsewhere. Indeed, the mill at the site has been greatly modified. Potential for the survial of earlier buildings was also recognised. [Au(adp)] Archaeological periods represented: PM 1/423 (B.23.F003) SO LAND AT DRAYCOTT MILLS, CAM, NEAR DURSLEY Land at Draycott Mills, Cam, Near Dursley Barber, A Cirencester : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2002, 20pp, figs, tabs, refs Documentary evidence to Draycot Mill in 1462 highlighted the presence of medieval activity at the site. The factory complex was thought to have severely truncated the archaeological record, including a documented ridge and furrow system at the eastern end of the site. Previous ploughing regimes were also thought to have damaged any remains. [Au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: MD 1/424 (B.23.F007) SO LAND AT GUSSAGE MILL, BRIMSCOMBE Land at Gussage Mill, Brimscombe, Gloucestershire. Archaeological Desk-Based Assesment Stoten, G Cirencester : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2002, 20pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs There was very little potential for archaeological remains from before the medieval period. No medieval deposits have been recognised in the vicinity, although settlement in the surrounding area was known. The possibility of the discovery of an early phase of the medieval mill was not discounted. The remains of the structure of the post-medieval mill were more likely, however. A stone culvert at the site would not be affected by development. [Au(adp)] Archaeological periods represented: UD 1/425 (B.23.F011) SO MAYO [STAGE II], QUEDGELEY Mayo [Stage II], Quedgeley, Gloucestershire. Archaeological Assessment and Scoping Document Adam, N Hindon : AC archaeology, 2002, 14pp, refs Work undertaken by: AC archaeology 18 sites of historical and archaeological significance were revealed as a result of this assessment. These included Roman settlement and cemetery sites, two medieval moated manor sites and two modern military establishments. It was concluded that any future development waould have a significant impact on the archaeological remains at the site. [Au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: MD, MO, RO 6

Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment Stoten, G Cirencester : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2002, 15pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs The assessment revealed that the cottage was present on the Tithe Map of Its location was thought to suggestive of an association with the mill. This was also inferred by the lack of boundaries shown on early maps. The Cottage was not listed but was afforded some protection by its location on a Conservation Area. [Au(abr)] 1/427 (B.23.F014) SO WOODCHESTER PARK HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PROJECT Woodchester Park Historic Landscape Project, Gloucestershire. Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment and Field Survey Morton, R Cirencester : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2002, 51pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs The assessment revealed that documentary references to Woodchester were known from as early as the 8th century, although the park in its present form was not established until the 17th century, and had altered very little since that time. There was thought to be the potential for the discovery of previously unrecorded archaeological remains at the site. [Au(abr)] 7
