Abstract: |
The programme of archaeological works comprised the observation by a competent
archaeologist of all intrusive groundworks associated with initial ground reduction,
typically to a depth of 0.15m below current ground level (bcgl), forming part of a
‘non-dig’ mitigation strategy (CA 2020a) designed to preserve the previously
identified archaeological remains in situ. Construction for the car park (Area
1) was enabled by importing material to raise the ground levels by approx. 350mm.
The perimeter levels, particularly the southern boundary where the Roman burials
were previously identified, would also be raised with the generated topsoil to tie in
with the raised car park levels.
A service trench (Area 2) was also identified to the north of the car park area and
was subject to archaeological monitoring. In September 2020, Cotswold Archaeology carried out a programme of archaeological works
during groundworks associated with the change of use of land at The Old Kennels,
Cirencester Park from horse paddocks, arena, and stables to form a new car park.
No features or deposits of archaeological interest were observed. A halfpenny of late 17th or
18th-century date was recovered from the subsoil. |
