Abstract:		 An excavation was carried out at the proposed site of a Magistrates' Court, which lay within the area of Glevum Roman Colonia, a Scheduled Ancient Monument (County no. 330). Parts of the site had been truncated by previous development, but significant archaeological deposits were known to be present. During the excavation, wall foundations and floor levels, including one surfaced with a tessellated pavement, were recorded. Finds suggested that the building had been in use during the later Roman period. Its northern side was cut by the edge of a large ditch, interpreted as part of the defensive circuit of Gloucester's Norman castle. A small area roughly paved with limestone may have represented a surface associated with the castle. Medieval infills of the ditch were preserved in situ below the level required for the insertion of piles. [Au(adp)]
