Abstract:		 Between 28th April and 16th May 2014 Foundations Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological evaluation on land at Tetbury Road, Cirencester, Gloucestershire. The project comprised the excavation and recording of thirteen test pits within a proposed development area. The evaluation has identified sloping natural deposits sealed beneath a former plough soil, which extended across the evaluated area. Subsequent to the ploughing, a significant amount of material was dumped onto the site in the late Post-medieval - Modern period. A number of darker soil layers, present within parts of the site, may have represented the remains of Post-medieval - Modern horticultural or agricultural activity. A relatively small number of archaeological features were present, all of which were datable to the late Post-medieval - Modern periods. These included two brick-built walls, two partially revealed cut features and part of a possible soakaway. There were no human burials, cremations or other evidence for funerary activity within the test pits and, as such, the site was likely to have been situated away from the focus of Roman funerary activity, which has previously been recorded immediately to the west, at the site of the former Bridges Garage. There was no evidence for the Roman town defensive ditch within test pits at the east of the site and, therefore, the western edge of the ditch must be located to the east of the previously predicted location. The evaluation has indicated that there is a low potential for significant archaeological remains to be present within the site; however, due to a relatively limited sample of basal deposits, it was not possible to entirely rule out the potential for the presence of dispersed and/or discrete features within the site area.
