Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Dymock Cricket Club, Dymock, Gloucestershire (NGR SO 70495 31116). It was commissioned by Chris Knock, Architectural and Planning Consultant, on behalf of Dymock Cricket Club, who intend to construct a new pavilion for which a planning application has been submitted. The application has been approved but it is now intended to revise the application with the pavilion to be located further to the north than originally intended, thereby placing it on the line of a Roman road. The evaluation established the presence of well preserved Roman remains on the site. The features include the Roman road and roadside ditch on the anticipated alignment, as well as a number of pits and other features, and deposits. A significant quantity of Roman pottery and two brooches were recovered. A small amount of slag and coal was also identified hinting at the presence of industrial activity in the area. An environmental sample yielded charred cereal crop waste, which may originate from a crop grown and processed locally. The small quantity of animal bone recovered was in a good state of preservation. This is indicative of rural occupation in the immediate vicinity. |
