Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Parcel J, Kingsway, Quedgeley, Gloucester (NGR SO 81015 13316). It was undertaken on behalf of CgMs Consulting, whose client intends to develop the site. The site is situated within the footprint of the former RAF Quedgeley Royal Air Force Station, and lies approximately 5km south of Gloucester and south-east of the historic settlement of Quedgeley. Four trenches were excavated across an area of just under 1.2ha, in order to provide the best sample of the area within the constraints of the existing buildings, trees and ongoing use of the site. The only archaeological feature identified on the site was a ditch, containing a single sherd of abraded Roman pottery, which was interpreted as part of a possible droveway or field boundary. This feature may be connected with Roman remains identified on Parcel G, a site previously investigated in the immediate vicinity to the east of the site or widely distributed boundaries identified in an archaeological evaluation of the site as a whole. No other significant archaeological features, layers, structures, horizon or artefacts were identified. |
