Abstract: |
On the 30th June 2014 Foundations Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological monitoring during groundworks associated with the construction of rear single and two storey extensions at 5 Church Street, Cirencester, Gloucestershire. The stratigraphy of the site varied and was dependent on whether the footings were excavated within the previous extention's footings or within the back garden area. Deposits (103) and (104) were present within the garden area and most likely represented intact Roman deposits. These were present at a minimum depth of 0.8m (106.5m AOD) below the Modern ground level. Even though the layers only yielded a small quantity of dateable material, the character of these deposits was similar to deposits of Roman demolition debris observed elsewhere in Cirencester and can therefore be confidently given a Roman date. Therefore any future groundworks required within the vicinity of the site have the potential to impact upon possible undisturbed Roman stratigraphy if excavated to a depth greater than 106.5m AOD (0.8m below Modern ground level). |
