Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Amey plc to carry out an archaeological watching brief on the excavation of trial holes in advance of the renewal of water mains within the western area of the historic core of Gloucester. The watching brief occurred at multiple locations within the city centre, that is, the area lying between the cathedral and the River Severn, and bordered to the north and south by St Oswald's Road and Barrack Square/Barbican Way respectively. A total of 17 trial holes were monitored. There was no evidence that any of the trial holes impacted on medieval or earlier horizons. Of the seventeen trial holes that were monitored, datable artefacts were recovered from six, with all of the material of post-medieval or early modern date, and a general emphasis on the 18th century. In each of the trial holes that contained artefactual material, the finds were derived from the basal deposit, providing a terminus post quem for that deposit and for the overlying layers. With no material from the medieval or earlier periods recovered, it can be surmised that trial holes were not dug to a depth sufficient to impact on any horizons of that date. It is recommended that the project archive resulting from the watching brief be deposited with Gloucester City Museum. The Museum has agreed in principle to accept the project archive on completion of the project, under the accession code GLRCM:2015.15.
