Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Quedgeley Framework Plan 5, Gloucester (NGR SO 81342 13306). It was undertaken on behalf of AMEC Foster Wheeler Environment and Infrastructure UK, acting on behalf of their client Quedgeley Urban Village Ltd. Twenty two trenches were excavated across the site in order to provide the best sample of the area within the constraints of the existing buildings, services, roads and trees. Archaeological or potential archaeological features relating to two distinct phases of activity were identified in eleven of the trenches. The first phase of activity was represented by a number a number of possible enclosure type features in the western part of the site. These features yielded a moderate quantity of Roman pottery typical of rural sites in the area. The second phase of activity was represented by a series of sterile ditches in the eastern and central part of the site. These ditches appear to correlate with field boundaries visible on historic Ordnance Survey maps, and are therefore interpreted as post-medieval in date. |
