Introduction
This collection comprises images from an archaeological evaluation, undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in February 2017, at 3 - 5 Queen Street, Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Two trenches were excavated. Surfaces of Roman date, likely to be associated with a portico on the southern side of Ermin Street separating insula VIII and IX and a yard surface, were encountered at the limit of excavation in both trenches. These were overlain by successive soil horizons of post-Roman date.
An archaeological watching brief followed during groundworks associated with an extension to the existing building at 3-5 Queen Street, Cirencester Gloucestershire. A 19th to 20th-century foundation and a possible Roman surface were recorded at the southern extent of the observed groundworks.
