Abstract:		 An Archaeological Evaluation was carried out by Avon Archaeology Limited in June 2019 on land at No. 18 Sandhurst Road, Kingsholm, Gloucester. The evaluation excavated a single 5 x 1.4m trench. The project was requested by the archaeological officer for Gloucester City Council, in order to mitigate for the fact that a conditioned Watching Brief, which was intended to monitor groundworks during construction of an extension to Number 18 Sandhurst Road, was unfortunately not implemented. The project was designed to explore the depositional sequence of the site, characterise the archaeological potential of the site, and test for the presence or absence of archaeology, particularly in the context of the Kingsholm Roman Legionary Fort, within in which the site falls. The trench was excavated to a maximum safe depth of 1.2m. In a change to the intended location it was excavated to the north of the extension, running east to west. No archaeological features were present with the excavated material comprising largely mixed post-medieval made ground. Two sherds of abraded pottery, probably medieval in date, were recovered from a buried subsoil towards the base of the trench. It remains possible that archaeological features survive at a greater depth, or elsewhere on the site. It was also noted that the site is approximately 1.2m higher than the surrounding street level, which could indicate that the ground has been raised.
