Abstract:		 An archaeological trench evaluation, on the site of a proposed residential development on land at Siddington Road, Cirencester was undertaken by AC archaeology. An earlier geophysical survey of the site recorded two ring ditches and part of a possible L-shaped ditch arrangement, possibly an enclosure. Other linear and curvilinear features or trends were recorded. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of seven trenches totalling 382m. The two ring ditches were present in the trenches, with these likely to be drip gullies from roundhouses, with associated pottery indicating a late Bronze Age to early Iron Age date. Associated features comprised pits, postholes, ditches and gullies. The roundhouses appear to be partly within a ditched enclosure. A number of other buried archaeological features were identified across the site, including some dating to the Romano-British period, while in the eastern portion some pits were present which contained early Saxon pottery. While all trenches contained some evidence for archaeological activity, it appears that most of the site has been eroded by later ploughing. However, in the northeast corner of the site, alongside the eastern boundary, a footslope lynchet was present, which sealed a probable buried soil of late Bronze Age to early Iron Age date.
