Abstract
Excavations of Roman and medieval levels at the New Market Hall, Gloucester, 1966-7
Mark W C Hassall
John F Rhodes
15 - 100
Conclusive proof was obtained of an earlier legionary fortress underlying the colonia, with the excavation of half a barrack block and recovery of legionary equipment. The fortress was occupied from after AD 64/6 until later Flavian times, when the garrison may have gradually withdrawn to Caerleon. Construction of the colonia appears to have followed directly, ie. not as late as the AD 96/8 date conventionally assumed. Towards mid-2nd century occupation was patchy, but 4th century prosperity and full population is evident. Some post-Roman use of the derelict area is seen, but a gap follows until 11th century. Catalogued are RB and medieval pottery, metalwork, bone, glass, stamped tile, etc.

Archaeology and the M5 motorway: third report
101 - 130
In the 11km stretch south of Site 38 (previous report, abstract 75/2947) the two main sites investigated were at Heneage Court, Falfield: a small RB industrial settlement, and a 16th-century kiln dump where a fine ware derived from "Cistercian" was being made and is here termed Falfield ware. Six other minor flint or pottery scatter sites are recorded and Roman and medieval wares catalogued.

Tewkesbury Abbey: the Despenser mausoleum
Richard Morris
142 - 155
Argues that the 14th-century work at Tewkesbury is not a provincial reflection of Gloucester Cathedral, but simply another aspect of the Court style of the period. The remodelling was the work of Edward II's favourite Hugh le Despenser, though after his fall the work was completed by his widow Eleanor and her son Hugh. This historically-attested building break at 1326-1330 is relfected in the fabric. The E end, planned as a sumptuous Despenser family mausoleum in the French style, was copied from (and intended to surpass) that of Hailes Abbey.
