Abstract:		 In November 2020, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation at land off Brook Lane, Twigworth, Gloucestershire. A total of 11 trenches were excavated. Two fragments of ceramic building material of broad Roman date, one of which could be identified as part of a tegula (flanged roof tile), were recovered from the fill of a slightly curving ditch of indeterminate function identified in a trench in the south-western part of the site (Trench 8). Evidence of medieval and/or post-medieval agricultural activity, comprising the ploughed-out remains of ridge-and-furrow cultivation, was identified throughout the site. Three ditches, correlating closely to linear anomalies, depicted by a preceding geophysical survey and as field boundaries on the First Edition 1884-1885 Ordnance Survey map, were identified cutting the subsoil within trenches excavated in the central part of the site. A number of undated ditches were identified in Trenches 5 and 8 in the central part of the site. The function of these features remains unclear; however the absence of artefactual and faunal material within the fills of these features suggests that they lay at an appreciable distance from any former settlement, and they are therefore considered most likely to have been associated with agricultural activity.
