Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology from 30 September to 11 October 2019 at Waterloo Car Park, Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Four trenches were excavated. A series of Roman made-ground deposits, surfaces and structural remains were recorded across the site, with associated occupation and demolition horizons. In the centre of the site the made-ground layers could be interpreted as evidence of land reclamation during the later Roman Period, potentially due to urban expansion or the establishment of the town defences in the mid 2nd century, when part of the River Churn was diverted outside of the city wall. A wall located in the centre of the site, combined with evidence from an evaluation in 1998, suggest that this area of the site was occupied by at least one building during the Roman period. In the southwestern corner of the site two possible phases of limestone surfacing were identified. It is possible that these surfaces relate to a wall identified in the 1998 evaluation or that these surfaces represent a road. These were all sealed by post-Roman 'dark earth' deposits or post- Roman alluvial layers associated with the nearby River Churn. One of these occupation deposits yielded an assemblage of charred plant remains indicative of a post-Roman date. The same assemblage was recovered from alluvial and
