Abstract:		 In January 2016 Foundations Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological excavation on land at Avian Lea, Sellars Road, Hardwicke, Gloucestershire. The footing of the new build was reduced down up to 0.6m (15.8m AOD) below the Modern ground surface onto the natural yellow plastic clay. The clay was in turn sealed by a grey brown clay subsoil (1002), which was in turn sealed by Modern overburden (1001). The site was generally flat. The excavation of the footprint of the new dwelling revealed the western edge of a large linear feature [1003]/[1005]. The eastern edge was not located within the excavated area. No dating material was recovered from feature [1003]/[1005], however one fragment of animal bone was recovered. Two sections were excavated into feature [1003]/[1005], however, due to a high water-table within this area, it was not possible to fully excavate Section 1. Sections 1 and 2 demonstrate that the linear feature was at least 0.66m deep and at least 2.6m wide. From the revealed profiles it is likely that feature [1003]/[1005] was a substantial ditch, possibly a boundary ditch. No other archaeological finds, features or deposits were present within the excavated area.
