Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in October and November 2015 on Land at M5, Junction 13, Stroud, Gloucestershire. Eighty-two trenches, some of which were targeted on anomalies identified by a preceding geophysical survey, were excavated. The evaluation has identified a number of archaeological features within the proposed development area. The majority of these features were concentrated within the south central part of the site. Ditches identified within the south central part of the site confirm the presence of a rectangular enclosure identified by the preceding geophysical survey. Finds recovered from a number of these ditches confirm that it is of Roman, and most likely of 3rd to 4thcentury AD, date. Within the enclosure, the truncated remains of a Roman building of some status were revealed, and these would appear to confirm the presence of a postulated Roman Villa previously recorded in the area. Part of a further Roman structure, previously identified during archaeological excavations undertaken in the 1970s, was also identified in this area. Evidence of probable Roman sand and gravel extraction was identified in close proximity to the identified structures.
