Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in May 2015 at Gloucestershire Archives, Alvin Street, Gloucester, Gloucestershire. Three trenches were excavated. A buried soil horizon, pre-dating observed Roman activity, was identified laying directly on top of the natural substrate within Trench 1 and possibly within Trench 3. This was cut by two undated pits within Trench 3. The purpose of these pits remains uncertain but could potentially be postholes representing a structure in this part of the site. Later Roman activity was confirmed within Trenches 1 and 2, comprising a large north-south aligned ditch and probable quarry pits within Trench 2 and a possible compacted gravel and mortar surface within the south-eastern end of Trench 1. Deposits, comprising redeposited clay and sand natural, were also identified within Trench 1 which may the potential up-cast from the excavation of the ditch within Trench 2. Post-medieval cultivation soils were identified attesting to the sites history within the agricultural hinterland of Gloucester during this period and it's later use as a garden nursery. Several post-medieval ditches were also identified. No evidence for the Civil War defensive line or the Alvin Iron Works was identified during the evaluation.
