Abstract: |
Urban Archaeology was commissioned by Dan Ponting on behalf of Warrior Investments Ltd to carry out an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with a new extension at 52 Kingsholm Road, Gloucester. The watching brief took place during February 2018. The watching brief consisted of the excavation of an area measuring 7.4 by 4.6m to 12.28m OD with a perimeter trench extending down to 12.13m OD. Modern ground level adjacent to the excavation was at 12.71m OD. Natural ground was not observed during the watching brief. Across the excavated area a dark grey loamy deposit was exposed, this is probably a post-medieval cultivation soil or reworked 'Dark Earth' deposit predating the construction of the current property. Pottery from the deposit dates to the Roman, medieval and post-medieval periods. Later activity was restricted to truncation for the former extension and associated drainage. |
