Abstract: |
The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 15 trenches. Thirteen trenches measured 50m in length, and two trenches measured
25m in length. All trenches measured 1.8m in width.
The trenches were located to test geophysical anomalies and to provide a
representative sample of the remainder of the site. In June 2021, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological
evaluation of land at Swindon Farm, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
A total of 15 trenches were excavated.
Roman ditches were identified in the north-eastern area of the site,
correlating with features previously identified during geophysical
survey and an earlier phase of archaeological evaluation, and likely
representing an area of Roman settlement and agricultural activity.
Residual pottery dating to the late prehistoric period was also
recovered and evidence of medieval/post-medieval ridge and
furrow cultivation was recorded across the site. |
