Abstract:		 The evaluation works comprised a metal detector survey followed by the excavationof five trenches each measuring 10m by 1.6m. The trenches were laid out as shown inFigure 2 using a GPS with sub-15mm accuracy.Prior to the commencement of the trial trench evaluation, the site was subjected to ametal detector survey. The survey was designed to identify metal objects that mayindicate the presence of grave goods in burials.A number of positive responses were recorded during the survey (Fig. 2) and thetrenches repositioned from the locations proposed in the WSI to investigate them.Trenches 3 and 4 were both moved slightly to the east and re-orientated onto broadlyNE-SW alignments. Trench 5 was moved to the south and changed to a NW-SEalignment. Neither Trench 1 or Trench 2 were moved as these had been positioned toinvestigate the results of the geophysical survey.The trenches were excavated using a JCB fitted with a 1.6m wide toothless bucketunder the direct supervision of an archaeologist. Spoil was stored adjacent to, but at a safe distance from the trench edges. The trenches and the up-cast spoil were scannedwith a metal detector at regular intervals.Machining continued in even spits down to the top of the undisturbed natural geology.The exposed surface of the trench was sufficiently clean to establish the presence orabsence of archaeological remains. Where archaeological deposits were exposed,further excavation proceeded by hand.All excavation and recording was undertaken in accordance with the methodologyoutlined in the WSI.Upon completion of the works and in agreement with the Local PlanningArchaeologist, Charles Parry, the trenches were backfilled. Between 30th October and 1st November 2019, Oxford Archaeology undertookan archaeological evaluation and metal detector survey at Site K1B,Clayfurlong View, Kemble, Gloucestershire (NGR 398892 197637). A total offive trenches were excavated which had been targeted to investigateanomalies identified by a previous geophysical survey and to target the resultsof the metal detector survey.Two postholes and a small pit were recorded in one of the trenches, with nofeatures of an archaeological origin present in the other trenches. A smallassemblage of Iron Age pottery was recovered from each of the postholes.Although the features do not relate to anomalies identified by the priorgeophysical survey, they are located within the same area. Therefore, eventhough the results of the geophysical are not directly representative of theremains found, they appear to be a good indicator of the areas ofarchaeological activity within the site.The results suggest the presence of Iron Age domestic activity, including astructure within the vicinity of the proposed development area. However,truncation through ploughing is likely to have limited the significance of anyfurther remains present.
