Abstract: |
Oxford Archaeology were appointed by Charterhouse Strategic Land to undertake an archaeological evaluation at Perrybrook, Shurdington Road, Brockworth, Gloucestershire, in support of a planning application. The site is known to be the location of one of 32 Second World War barrage balloons sites located to the east of Gloucester, placed to protect the Gloster Aircraft Company (GAC) manufacturing complex and factory at Brockworth Aerodrome. The evaluation identified an anchoring point and two tethering points for a barrage balloon. The points had been broken out sometime after the end of the war to at least ground level, when the land was returned to agricultural use, and survive as fragmented concrete and bricks within shallow pits. No other archaeological features were identified during the works. |
