Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was carried out on part of the old Brockworth airfield being redeveloped for housing. The archaeological work was carried out as a result of previous geophysical and trenching investigations which identified a possible Roman farmstead site. The farmstead was founded in the 2nd-3rd centuries, probably as a primarily a stock-rearing farm. The excavation produced mainly ovine and bovine bone and no evidence of cereals. The farm buildings were not investigated, but an earlier evaluation produced evidence of foundation trenches, beam slots, pits and post holes. Finds of unstratified ceramic box flue tiles, roof tiles and stone roof tiles indicated a farm of some importance. The excavation examined the south-western boundary of the farmyard, its internal sub-divisions and an external inhumation burial. It fit within an area of dense Roman agricultural activity with two villas and two to three other farmsteads in the immediate area. One Roman ditch within the excavation area continued in use until the medieval period. [Au(abr)]
