Introduction
This collection comprises images and GIS data from an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with the excavation of three soakaways at Cirencester Primary School, Victoria Road, Cirencester, Gloucestershire. This work was undertaken in March 2021 by Cotswold Archaeology.
A mortar and metalled limestone surface was identified in the northern-most soakaway c.0.73m below present ground level. This is potentially Roman Intramural Street D which was predicted to be within this area. The two soakaways to the south contained Roman demolition deposits at c. 0.95m below present ground level. Both the surface and the demolition deposits were sealed by 'dark earth' deposits which were in turn overlain by topsoil.
