Abstract: |
Foundations Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological evaluation on land at Spread Eagle House, Spread Eagle Road, Gloucester in June 2017. The evaluation comprised the excavation and recording of a single trench within the area of a proposed development. The archaeological trenching revealed the presence of a probable Roman mortared stone wall with associated possible floor surface layers and in-situ wall plaster layers, along with other probable Roman soil deposits. Roman artefacts included pottery, further fragments of painted wall plaster and tegula. The association of the wall with other building remains, such as painted wall plaster, surface layers and tegula, suggested that it most likely represented part of a well-appointed Roman building, which was, in places, relatively well preserved. Post-Roman evidence consisted of Medieval or later fills, which were most likely associated with refuse and/or quarry pits. Numerous brick wall footings and brick rubble layers were probably associated with a previously demolished wing of Spread Eagle House. |
