Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation and watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in August 2018 at Hewmar House, 120 London Road, Gloucester, Gloucestershire. Four archaeological evaluation trenches were excavated and four geotechnical test pits were observed. Despite the proximity of the site to Wotton Roman cemetery, no evidence for any in situ burials, or indeed any Roman activity, was identified in any of the excavated trenches or test pits. It is likely that the site lay beyond the southern boundary of the cemetery and formed part of the agricultural hinterland of both Roman and medieval Gloucester until the construction of Hillfield Villa (later Hewmar House) in the early 19th century. Three linear garden features, probably planting trenches, associated with Hillfield Villa and a large undated ditch were identified. Evidence for possible quarrying was also identified throughout the site. |
