Abstract: |
The fieldwork comprised the excavation of three trenches, measuring 1m by 1m, in
the locations shown on the attached plan (Fig. 2). Trenches were set out on OS
National Grid (NGR) co-ordinates using Leica GPS and surveyed in accordance with
CA Technical Manual 4 Survey Manual.
All trenches were excavated by mechanical excavator equipped with a toothless
grading bucket. All machine excavation was undertaken under constant
archaeological supervision to the top of the first significant archaeological horizon or
the natural substrate, whichever was encountered first. Where archaeological
deposits were encountered they were excavated by hand in accordance with CA
Technical Manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual. An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in March 2019 at
the Waterloo Car Park, Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Three trenches were excavated.
A Roman cobbled surface and probable post-Roman ‘dark earth’ deposits were identified
within the northern half of the site. |
