Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Dymock Cricket Club, The Pound, Dymock, Gloucestershire (NGR SO 70495 31116). It was commissioned by Chris Knock, Architectural and Planning Consultant, on behalf of Dymock Cricket Club. A new cricket pavilion was being constructed and this phase of work constituted the archaeological mitigation of the works. One borehole and ten trenches were observed. The new building lay over the Roman road, the survival of which had been confirmed during the previous evaluation by Worcestershire Archaeology. The strip for the foundations was very shallow and did not expose significant deposits. Elsewhere the natural was revealed at a depth of 0.50-1.20m. The exception was the borehole, where the natural lay at 1.72m depth, and may indicate the presence of a deeply cut feature in this location. Two pits were recorded, one on either side of the Roman road. That to the north contained evidence of in situ burning or heating, although it did not appear to be industrial in nature. These features and the associated soils contained a small quantity of animal bone, pottery and a copper pin. The animal bone is indicative of domestic activity. The pottery indicates activity primarily in the 1st to 2nd centuries, extending into the 3rd century. This is consistent with the evidence from other sites excavated around Dymock. The composition of the assemblage, although small, is however atypical of rural Roman assemblages generally. The presence of overfired sherds is indicative of local production, particularly in the 3rd century, which is later than that identified elsewhere in the vicinity.
