Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology between October and November 2015 at Kingshill North, London Road, Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Three areas were excavated within the development area, targeted on features identified during previous archaeological investigations within the site. The excavation identified an area of pitting within the eastern part of the site (Area 3), that had previously been investigated during a watching brief associated with construction of a former contractor's compound. Although no artefactual material was recovered during the current works, a large quantity of probable Early Iron Age pottery had been retrieved during its preceding excavation. Two shallow, undated, pits identified immediately to the north may be broadly contemporary. Evidence for post-medieval/modern ditches was noted at the western and eastern limit of the site. The later most probably representing a roadside boundary along the former course of Cherry Tree Lane. Extensive modern disturbance encountered within all three excavation areas suggests that groundworks associated with the construction of former compound facilities for the adjacent A419 were more extensive than had previously been recorded.
