Abstract:		 In September 2013, Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out a field evaluation at Land South of Cirencester Road, Fairford, Gloucestershire (centred on SP 14560 00600). The investigation followed a magnetometer survey which had identified various pitlike and linear magnetic anomalies. Several possible postholes were recorded, predominantly in the south-east corner of the site but also in the north-east corner. Most of these features were fairly slight, and no obvious structural forms were discernible within the confines of the trenches. With the exception of a single abraded sherd of late prehistoric pottery, none of them produced any artefactual material. Four probable sunken-featured buildings were identified - also in the south-east corner of the site - all of which had previously been identified as anomalies by the geophysical survey, and two of which had been interpreted as possible SFBs. Early Anglo-Saxon pottery was recovered from three of these, providing further evidence for the extensive settlement previously identified at Horcott Quarry to the south, and Pip's Field to the north. A linear anomaly identified on the geophysical survey corresponded with a ditch, found in two of the trenches in the south-east corner of the site. On the basis of a single sherd of pottery, the ditch is most likely to be of post-medieval date, although there was some suggestion that it may be earlier in origin. Various other post-medieval ditches were also recorded which correspond to field boundaries shown on 19th and 20th century OS maps.
