Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Bilfinger GVA on behalf of Lidl UK GmbH to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at a proposed new Lidl food store on Eastern Avenue, Gloucester, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SO 84767 17378. The evaluation took place from the 15th to the 17th of June 2016 and on the 11th July 2016. This document reports on the results of three evaluation trenches excavated across the northern part of the Site. Trench 1 had to be moved due to on-site constraints and was then abandoned due to service location. This was eventually dug as Trench 3 within the footprint of the Lidl building for a length of 25 m. Trench 2 was T-shaped and 45 m in length. The evaluation revealed a single possible feature that was irregular in shape and of natural origin. The evaluation seemed to confirm the results of the 2013 archaeological evaluation of the southern part of the Site which suggested there was no archaeological evidence for anything apart from agricultural activity on the Site prior to its 20th century development. The sequence of deposits on the Site consisted of made ground between 0.8m to 1.2m in thickness above the clay natural. This suggests that any archaeological features that were present would have been truncated away.
