1 GLOUCESTERSHIRE Cheltenham 2/1019 (C ) SO EVESHAM ROAD, CHELTENHAM Archaeological Evaluation at Evesham Road, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire Gloucestershire County Council Archaeological Service Gloucester : Gloucestershire County Council Archaeological Service, 2000, 14pp, figs, tabs, refs The site of the archaeological evaluation lay in close proximity to archaeological remains of Bronze Age, Iron Age and Romano-British date, which were poorly represented in Cheltenham. The evaluation recorded Romano-British ditches demonstrating signs of re-use that represented the continuation of field systems found nearby at Dunalley School and Rose Cottage. In addition, several discrete features of similar date were recorded. Finds included 3rd-4th century pottery and a burnt building stone.[au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: RO, MD 2/1020 (C ) SO LAND TO THE SOUTH OF JESSOP AVENUE, CHELTENHAM Land to the south of Jessop Avenue, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire: An Archaeological Evaluation Coleman, L Kemble : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2000, 22pp, figs, tabs, refs The evaluation identified three wooden stakes, possibly representing a plot division. These were overlain by post-medieval features probably relating to the former railway sidings and metal works which formally occupied the eastern part of the study area. Other areas of the site were disturbed or overlain by deposits of 19th-century made ground, and produced no positive evidence for archaeological remains.[au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: PM, MO 2/1021 (C ) SO WEST DRIVE AND WELLESLEY ROAD, CHELTENHAM, Archaeological Excavations at West Drive and Wellesley Road, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire Thomas, A & Catchpole, T Gloucester : Gloucestershire County Council Archaeological Service, 2000, 90pp, figs, tabs, refs The evaluation and excavation prior to the construction of the new Dunalley County Primary School revealed a rectilinear Romano-British system of stock enclosures or garden plots delineated to the east and south by a trackway. The layout was substantially changed in the late second century, after which it was subjected to slight modifications indicating ongoing maintenance until some time in the third century. A poorly preserved system of curvilinear enclosures was uncovered east of the trackway. No definite structures were identified, but the presence of building materials and quern fragments suggested the presence of a nearby settlement.[au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: RO 1

No in situ structural remains or road surfaces dating to the Roman period were identified.[au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: RO, PM 2/1023 (C ) SP & 12 HEREWARD ROAD, CIRENCESTER 10 & 12 Hereward Road, Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Archaeological Evaluation (Report No ) Hart, J Kemble : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2000, 14pp, The evaluation was undertaken in order to inform the planning authority of the advisability of granting consent for the construction of a single storey extension to the existing properties. The site lay outside of the line of the Roman town walls but within the historic precinct of the medieval Abbey. An in situ surface, provisionally dated to the 12th to 13th centuries, was encountered at between 1.23m and 1.32m below the existing ground level. It was overlain by a rubble deposit from which a single medieval coin was recovered. It was possible that these remains were associated with the farm which belonged to the medieval Abbey, several buildings of which were known to have been located within a few metres of the study area.

3 Of the two trenches excavated during the evaluation, Trench 2 revealed substantial archaeological remains including a large stone wall. This wall and its associated deposits were considered to be highly significant to the Roman fabric of Cirencester; especially when considering that the Roman bath house and a series of private dwellings with mosaics were found within 50 metres of the site.[au] Archaeological periods represented: RO, PM 2/1026 (C ) SP CHESTER STREET, CIRENCESTER 20 Chester Street, Cirencester, Gloucestershire: An Archaeological Evaluation Thomas, A Gloucester : Alan Thomas, 2000, 8pp, colour pls, Work undertaken by: Alan Thomas The archaeological evaluation comprised a single test pit which subsequently revealed a post-medieval surface.

5 The evaluation established that the western (inner) bank of Salmonsbury had been extensively truncated in the area of the evaluation and possibly along the length of the site. None of the bank visibly survived on the site, having been cut away in the 19th-century when farm buildings were constructed against the western boundary. The evaluation also indicated that the eastern edge of the Iron Age bank was preserved immediately below the existing turf and tarmac. Therefore any ground intrusion in that area would damage archaeological deposits of national significance. The inner ditch of Salmonsbury was also found to be well preserved where it had not been built over in the recent past. Ground intrusions greater than 0.3 metres over the majority of the site would also damage archaeological deposits of national significance.[au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: IA, PM 2/1034 (C ) SP CHURCH LANE CEMETERY, BLEDINGTON An Archaeological Evaluation at Church Lane Cemetery, Bledington, Gloucestershire Nichols, P Gloucester : Gloucestershire County Council Archaeological Service, 2000, 8pp, The archaeological evaluation at Church Lane Cemetery recorded two ditches and post holes. All features were heavily truncated by later ploughing. Ditch 11 contained burnt clay which may have come from a hearth. No dateable artefacts were retrieved and it was not possible to establish the date of the features.[au] Archaeological periods represented: UD 2/1035 (C ) SP GLEBE FARM, SHIPTON OLIFFE An Archaeological Evaluation at Glebe Farm, Shipton Oliffe, Gloucestershire Derham, K Gloucester : Gloucestershire County Council Archaeological Service, 2000, 8pp, No archaeological features or deposits were recorded during the evaluation.[au] 2/1036 (C ) SP GREEN LAKE PLAYING FIELD, BOURTON-ON-THE-WATER An Archaeological Evaluation at Green Lake Playing Field, Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire Nichols, P Gloucester : Gloucestershire County Council Archaeological Service, 2000, 16pp, figs, tabs, refs The evaluation established the presence of significant archaeological deposits of Romano-British date along the whole length of the proposed water pipe.

A mortar spread overlying the former topsoil was undated. A large cut in the eastern end of the trench was probably excavated in the 19th or 20th-century.[Au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: MD, PM 2/1038 (C ) SP JUBILEE CAFE, NORTHLEACH An Archaeological Evaluation at the Former Jubilee Cafe, Northleach, Gloucestershire Bashford, L Gloucester : Gloucestershire County Council Archaeological Service, 2000, 7pp, The Jubilee Cafe site lay adjacent to the Roman Fosse Way, where the potential for associated Roman roadside features was thought to be high. However, the three trial trenches revealed that the lower part of the site had been truncated and subsequently built-up in the post-medieval and modern periods.[au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: PM, UD 2/1039 (C ) SU KENT PLACE, SHERBORNE STREET, LECHLADE Kent Place, Sherborne Street, Lechlade, Gloucestershire: An Archaeological Evaluation Cotswold Archaeological Trust Kemble : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2000, 19pp, A range of archaeological features were identified during the evaluation. Features included a substantial ditch, a burnt feature (possibly a hearth), a large stone-packed post hole, and several other cut features of unknown function. A small number of sherds of Anglo-Saxon pottery were also recovered, which may have originated from the Anglo-Saxon site previously excavated a short distance to the north-west of the site.[au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: EM, MD 2/1040 (C ) SP LAND ADJACENT TO 157 WATERMOOR ROAD, CIRENCESTER Land Adjacent to 157 Watermoor Road, Cirencester, Gloucestershire: An Archaeological Evaluation Cotswold Archaeological Trust Kemble : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2000, 13pp, The archaeological evaluation revealed at least six Romano-British inhumation burials. It was likely that the site lay within the area occupied by the late Roman extra-mural cemetery, a short distance outside the Silchester Gate of Roman Corinium.[Au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: RO 6

A gravel quarry-pit was partially revealed and a number of early bottles, jars and other domestic refuse were retrieved from its infill. Although significant archaeological remains were known to lie in the vicinity of the study area, the archaeological evaluation detected no evidence for prehistoric, Romano- British or later occupation in the area sampled.[au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: MO 2/1043 (C ) SP LAND ADJACENT TO LLOYDS BANK, HIGH STREET, BOURTON-ON-THE- WATER Land Adjacent to Lloyds Bank, High Street, Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire: An Archaeological Evaluation Cotswold Archaeological Trust Kemble : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2000, 11pp, The site of the evaluation lay within the historic core of Bourton and within close proximity of Salmondsbury Camp (SAM 99), which dated to the Iron Age. Four small trenches were mechanically excavated. A small subrectangular pit was revealed which contained post-medieval domestic refuse. No other features or finds of archaeological interest were revealed during the excavation of the remaining trenches.[au] Archaeological periods represented: PM 2/1044 (C ) SP LAND ADJOINING THE MAPLES, OAK STREET, LECHLADE Land Adjoining The Maples, Oak Street, Lechlade, Gloucestershire: An Archaeological Evaluation Brett, M Kemble : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2000, 17pp, figs, tabs, refs 7

8 The evaluation was successful in identifying a large ditch, post holes and a pit which were all thought to date from the later prehistoric period. The discovery of these features was not unexpected as they fitted in with an emerging pattern of activity already identified in Lechlade.[Au] Archaeological periods represented: IA, LPR 2/1045 (C ) SP LAND AT HAREBUSHES, CIRENCESTER Land at Harebushes, Cirencester, Gloucestershire: An Archaeological Evaluation Cotswold Archaeological Trust Kemble : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2000, 11pp, The evaluation comprised four mechanically excavated trenches totalling 120 metres in length.

Features dating to the early Roman occupation of the town were identified in both trenches. These features had been sealed by a mid 2 nd -century 'dark earth' layer that had protected them from subsequent truncation by development during the 19 th century and the 1970's.

A number of anomalies of archaeological interest were also identified. These included part of an enclosure, a possible ring ditch and numerous pit type responses. A broad linear feature, potentially a Roman road, with possible evidence for industrial activity adjacent to it was also identified. However, given that the site area was used as a compound during the construction of the A419 road, it was more likely that these responses related to this modern disturbance.[au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: RO, UD 2/1051 (C ) SU LOWER MILL FARM, SOMERFORD KEYNES Lower Mill Farm, Somerford Keynes, Gloucestershire. Archaeological Evaluation (Report No ) Thomas, A & Collard, M Kemble : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2000, 21pp, figs, tabs, refs 12 trial trenches were excavated as an evaluation of the site. The northern half of the study area was found to contain archaeological deposits, however, any in the southern half were likely to have been destroyed by the construction of an embankment around a former gravel quarry now filled by Somerford Lagoon. Two trenches produced evidence of Romano-British activity in the form of shallow pits, gullies and ditches. The presence of roof tile fragments suggested the presence of a Romano- British building, possibly of some status, either within or in the vicinity of the site. Archaeological features were also identified in four other trenches and, although none produced any dateable artefacts, it was possible that they were also of Romano-British date. Two possible palaeochannels and two post- 9

10 medieval ditches were also found. It was clear from previous archaeological work that the study area lay within a landscape extensively utilised for settlement and agriculture during the Iron Age and Romano-British periods. The identification of further archaeological remains from within the study area had the potential to significantly add to the understanding of these settlement patterns and land use.

No archaeological deposits or finds were recorded within the evaluation trenches. The presence of alluvial deposits may explain the apparent absence of medieval development within the area, and it could be that the site was not developed due to its susceptibility to flooding. Alternatively the site may have been outside the developed area of Chipping Campden during the medieval period.[au] Archaeological periods represented: MO 2/1053 (C ) SP PATERNOSTER SCHOOL, WATERMOOR ROAD, CIRENCESTER An Archaeological Excavation at Paternoster School, Watermoor Road, Cirencester, Gloucestershire Nichols, P Gloucester : Gloucestershire County Council Archaeological Service, 2000, 10pp, figs, tabs, refs An archaeological excavation of post holes was carried out at Paternoster School. The excavation established the presence of probable Romano-British demolition deposits in post holes 1, 2 and 3 and a deposit which may have been the remains of a Romano-British surface, but which was more likely to have been a post-medieval deposit.[au] Archaeological periods represented: RO, PM, MO 2/1054 (C ) SP SHIPTON OLIFFE MANOR, SHIPTON OLIFFE Shipton Oliffe Manor, Shipton Oliffe, Gloucestershire.

The evaluation revealed a sequence of alluvial deposits and an area of industrial waste used to fill marshland adjacent to the railway. The bottom of the alluvial sequence was not detected as it lay beneath the level of the proposed impact; the deepest section observed was 2.2m deep and this revealed a fairly homogenous alluvial accumulation. A watercourse located in the centre of the site contained twigs, roots and a possible stake fence line was also uncovered. The stakes could not be precisely dated, although they predated the 19th century. Medieval cultivation in the form of ridge-and-furrow was visible in the west of the proposed development area with an associated ploughsoil beneath the topsoil. A small number of post-medieval pottery sherds were found within the ploughsoil and a redeposited Roman sherd in the industrial deposits to the north-east.

Ridge and furrow had heavily truncated any earlier features. However, if the medieval pottery and possible Romano- British pottery were not the result of midden spreading, there was a possibility that early features, such as the possible ditch, survived on the ridges.[au] Archaeological periods represented: MD 2/1074 (C ) SO POSY LANE, GLOUCESTER An Archaeological Evaluation at Posy Lane, Gloucester, Gloucestershire Nichols, P Gloucester : Gloucestershire County Council Archaeological Service, 2000, 8pp, The archaeological evaluation at Posy Lane identified a possible feature of uncertain date and sherds of pottery dating from the Romano-British and post-medieval periods. The feature was very irregular in plan and was interpreted as being the result of post-medieval agricultural use of the site.

This discovery clarified that the Great Witcombe villa attested to the style of the double-courtyard villas of the Cotswolds. The villa can be shown to have been set within a landscape of subsidiary buildings, and probable industrial activity. Tile wasters were found in the stream bed, and the magnetometry survey detected areas of debris with strong magnetic responses reminiscent of kilns and hearths to the south and north-east of the villa.[au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: RO 2/1079 (C ) ST HILLESLEY FARM, HILLESLEY Archaeological Evaluation on land at Hillesley Farm, Hillesley, Gloucestershire Bristol and Region Archaeological Services Bristol : Bristol and Region Archaeological Services, 2000, 31pp, colour pls, Work undertaken by: Bristol and Region Archaeological Services The evaluation revealed a number of archaeological features lying within the proposed development area, with archaeological deposits in all of the trenches excavated. The earliest feature was undated, whilst a putative buried soil horizon suggested the existence of an 11th to 12th century field system. A bank and ditch structure appeared to relate to later post-medieval changes to field boundaries.[au] Archaeological periods represented: PM, UD 2/1080 (C ) SO LAND ADJOINING SPRINGFIELD, SPRINGHILL, EASTINGTON Results of an Archaeological Evaluation Excavation on Land adjoining Springfield, Springhill, Eastington, Gloucestershire Young, J Normanton-on-Trent : John Samuels Archaeological Consultants, 2000, 20pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs Work undertaken by: John Samuels Archaeological Consultants No sites or finds of archaeological importance were recorded within the proposed development site.[au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: PM 17

Documentary evidence indicated the establishment of a new, formal planned 'borough' sometime after The evaluation comprised of two trenches neither of which appeared to be located within areas of intense medieval activity. The only archaeological remains of any significance were two wall footings representing the south east corner of a building of late 17th century date. An outbuilding was shown at this location on the Berkely Castle Estate map of Later map evidence indicated that it was demolished prior to 1876.[Au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: MD, PM, UD 2/1082 (C ) SO PRIORY FARM, LEONARD STANLEY Priory Farm, Leonard Stanley, Gloucestershire: An Archaeological Evaluation Young, D & Erskine J G P Bristol : Avon Archaeological Unit, 2000, 43pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs Work undertaken by: Avon Archaeological Unit During the evaluation, masonary foundations of a major building were located associated with pottery and building material from the 13th to14th centuries. No function or complete ground plan was recovered, but it was conjecture that these foundations could represent buildings associated with the 12th century St Leonard's Priory. These early foundations had been robbed out and replaced on a similar line by another building, possibly of the early post-medieval period. The last phase of construction was represented by demolished walls and a cobbled floor and the base of a cider press. This building was known to have existed from the early 19th century and had been demolished within the memory of a previous owner of Priory Farm.[Au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: MD, PM, MO, UD Tewkesbury 2/1083 (C ) SO LLANTHONY COTTAGES, TREDINGTON 2 Llanthony Cottages, Tredington, Gloucestershire: An Archaeological Evaluation Mayer, D Swindon : Foundations Archaeology, 2000, 10pp, Work undertaken by: Foundations Archaeology The evaluation comprised the excavation and recording of one trench in which no archaeological features or deposits were identified.[au] 2/1084 (C ) SO BROCKWORTH MSA Brockworth MSA, Gloucestershire: An Archaeological Evaluation Cotswold Archaeological Trust Kemble : Cotswold Archaeological Trust, 2000, 45pp, figs, tabs, refs 18

19 The evaluation revealed two post holes which may have represented part of a structure associated with a Bronze Age funerary site. In addition a Romano-British site, in the form of enclosures, a possible trackway and ditches formed the continuation of a rural settlement of first to fourth century date. A possible ring ditch was also identified. Much of the site also contained evidence for a medieval agricultural regime in the form of ridge amd furrow ploughing and field boundaries.[au] Archaeological periods represented: BA, RO, MD 2/1085 (C ) SO DEAN FARM, BISHOPS CLEEVE Dean Farm, Bishop Cleeve, Gloucestershire: A Geophysical Survey Report Samuels, J Normanton-on-Trent : John Samuels Archaeological Consultants, 2000, 14pp, figs Work undertaken by: John Samuels Archaeological Consultants The survey succeeded in identifying a complex of archaeological features. The results indicated a series of ditched enclosures, a possible trackway and several pit-like responses. It was evident that the core of the site occupied a 40 metre wide band that exteneded across the survey area. However, considerable noise had been introduced to the data because of the ploughed and rutted ground, which resulted in the loss of detail in certain areas of the field. However, this did not detract from defining the extent of the core settlement.[au] Archaeological periods represented: IA, UD 2/1086 (C ) SP HOME ORCHARD COTTAGE, HAILES Home Orchard Cottage, Hailes, Gloucestershire.
