Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in August and October 2010 at Park Farm, Thornbury, South Gloucestershire. A total of 36 trenches was excavated. Two pieces of worked flint (one of possible Early Bronze Age date were recovered from the subsoil. Ditches dating to the Mid to Late Iron Age were identified in the south-western part of the site (in close proximity to probable Roman occupation activity. Two substantial ditched boundaries (together with intercutting and parallel features) in the northern part of the site probably date to the late prehistoric period. A further ditch of the same date was identified to the east. Features containing Roman pottery were confined to the south-western part of the site and included ditches, pits and postholes suggestive of at least two areas of occupation, one of which appears to be centred on a possible enclosure. Several features contained iron processing waste, some of which was suggestive of smithing. The pottery from these features largely dates to the late 1st to 2nd centuries AD, although Late Iron Age/Early Roman and Late Roman pottery was also present. A ditch containing an 11th-century stirrup mount was found in the north-eastern part of the site. This ditch is depicted on an estate map of 1716 and it is unclear whether the mount is residual or whether the ditch was a long-lived feature originating in the late Anglo-Saxon period or earlier. A sherd of residual medieval pottery was found within a post-medieval pit. Other post-medieval and modern features included field boundaries and infilled ponds, suggesting that the site lay within an agricultural landscape during these periods.
