Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June and July 2016 at Gloucester Bus Station (Grosvenor House), Gloucester. Three trenches were excavated. A stone layer, most probably dating to the Roman period, was identified during the evaluation in all three trenches. This was overlain by a consistent sequence of medieval, post-medieval and modern buried soils and alluvial deposits. Eleven gullies dating to the post-medieval period were excavated, although the narrow scope of the evaluation meant that their function remained unclear. Two pits and three postholes of similar date were also identified. In the upper levels of all three trenches a tarmac surface pertaining to the mid 19th-century cattle market was recorded. |
