Abstract:		 Oxford Archaeology South (OAS) was commissioned to undertake an archaeological excavation and watching brief on part of the Highbrook Park development on land at Harry Stoke, Stoke Gifford in South Gloucestershire as part of ongoing development. The fieldwork had been intended to monitor the below ground work for the complete Phase 1 area, (7.69ha) but the work in the southern area had proceeded prior to archaeological attendance (3.5ha). The northern area remained intact and was subject to a constant presence watching brief (4.19ha). In addition two area excavations were undertaken around previously excavated Trenches 27 and 45 where evaluation work had highlighted archaeological remains. All of the features and deposits uncovered during the course of the watching brief works were of post-medieval date. They were all consistent with activity expected as part of the operation of a commercial garden nursery, dated from the early-mid 19th century onwards. The documentary sources suggest this was owned and part of the Maule family nursery. The watching brief work identified; seven stone packed field drains, five ceramic drains and one stone slabbed drain. These formed a network of land drainage situated on the western side of the present Phase 1 site. There were also several other features: a hedgerow; an isolated dump of stones; a narrow trackway; a linear dump; and four dumps of burnt material. These features were all of post-medieval date. The extensive subsoil and topsoil contained finds assemblages consistent with the use of the land as a garden nursery. The excavation area around Trench 27 revealed no features of archaeological origin only variations in the natural geology. The excavation area around Trench 45 revealed no surviving features of archaeological origin, the ground having been recently wholesale landscaped.
