Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in July and August 2019 at Icomb Place, Icomb, Gloucestershire. Three trenches were excavated. The remains of a substantial moat were identified in Trench 2, excavated immediately adjacent to the historic northern entrance into Icomb Place. Further probable fills of this moat were encountered in both Trenches 1 and 3, indicating that the moat originally extended along the entire north-eastern façade of the property. Evidence from Trench 2 suggests that the foundations of the extant northern range of Icomb Place were built directly on to the base of the moat. Two further north-west/south-east aligned walls, both similarly built on to the base of the moat itself, were also identified in Trench 2. The function of these walls remains unclear; however they may have functioned as piers or abutments for a probable wooden structure/bridge spanning the moat. Within Trench 2 the earliest fill of the moat, containing artefactual material of broad 14th to 18th-century date, suggests that the moat was initially clay-lined. A series of four waterlogged fills, each containing material of primarily 16th to 19th-century date, were identified overlying this deposit and indicate that the moat may have fallen out of use during this time. These fills were sealed by a layer of demolition material containing fragments of medieval/early post-medieval floor tile and leather shoe fragments of 17th-century date and it is possible that this deposit relates to a phase of alteration undertaken at Icomb Place during the mid to late 17th century. The remaining fills of the moat comprised undated rubbly sit-clays which appear to represent deliberate attempts to backfill the moat. The latest of these deposits, as identified in Trenches 2 and 3, were cut by the construction cut for a stone-lined drain/culvert.
