Abstract:		 The trial trench evaluation comprised the excavation of 29 trenches, each measuring 25m in length and 1.9m in width. Three excavation areas were agreed with Paul Driscoll (SGC), and these were informed by the results of the archaeological evaluation. All three areas (1-3) were within the northern part of the site (B), and collectively measured approximately 0.36ha in extent. A programme of archaeological works was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in March and April 2018 at land to the south of Filton Road, Winterbourne, South Gloucestershire. A trial trench evaluation of 29 trenches preceded archaeological excavation of three areas centred on the Roman features identified during the evaluation. The excavation identified two phases of peripheral settlement activity between the 1st and 4th centuries AD, including enclosures, field boundary ditches, the remains of a ring ditch associated with a roundhouse and a palaeochannel which pre-dated the Roman activity. Evidence of deliberate ground consolidation between the enclosures and the course of the palaeochannel is potentially related to stock management. The artefact assemblages from the excavation were consistent with a low status rural farmstead, with a small amount of regional or imported pottery types, mostly Dorset blackburnished ware and Gaulish samian. There was slight evidence for the smelting of iron. The farmstead was associated with the keeping of cattle and sheep/goat and the growing of spelt and barley. Small amounts of residual worked flint and late Iron Age pottery suggested that the wider landscape was settled in the prehistoric period, although no features pre-dating the Roman period were identified during the works.
