Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Stoke Road, Bishop's Cleeve (NGR SO 9451 2787). It was commissioned by CgMs Consulting whose client intends to develop the site, for which an outline planning application has been submitted. Twenty six evaluation trenches were excavated to assess the survival of a number of potential archaeological features which had been identified by a geophysical survey of the site, as well as the archaeological potential of other areas of the site. The evaluation demonstrated the good survival of features represented by the geophysical survey, which largely comprise negative features cut into the natural substrate. Two distinct areas of archaeological activity were identified. The most complex area was identified in the central part of the site where a series of enclosures and other features including a possible corn drier survive. Most of the features relating to the enclosures were dated to the Roman period although some Iron Age material was also found. To the north-west of the main complex a second smaller series of features were identified. These were less complex than the central area and some of the features dated to the Iron Age although some Roman material was also found, suggesting that the settlement may have been founded during the Iron Age but migrated and continued after the Roman invasion. Other features identified during the evaluation included an early Bronze Age cremation and tentative evidence of late or post-Roman activity.
