Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken of land off Evesham Road, Bishop's Cleeve, Gloucestershire (NGR SO 9563 2853). It was undertaken on behalf of CgMs Consulting Ltd., whose client intends to construct housing with associated infrastructure and public open space, for which a planning application will be submitted to Tewkesbury Borough Council. A shallow north to south aligned ditch of uncertain date was excavated in the central northern area, sealed below the subsoil. The subsoil was in turn cut by a furrow of medieval date. The ditch corresponds to a geophysical anomaly, although given the sterile nature of the fill and absence of dating evidence it is not possible to assign a definite phase. Its relationship to the subsoil and furrow however suggest that it is not a recent field boundary. A single discreet pit or hollow of medieval date was identified, which appeared to have naturally silted up. This interpretation is supported by the feature being located in one of the lowest points of the field, close to the Dean Brook. The presence of the pottery within it would suggest some limited settlement activity within the vicinity. Across the site, linear features aligned with the visible earthworks were recorded and interpreted as furrows. These were aligned broadly north to south, apart from in the southern end of the site where one ran north-west to south-east.
