Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in September 2009 at Chedworth Roman Villa, Gloucestershire. Eight trial pits were excavated. Deposits and/or features of Roman date were identified in trial pits 3 to 8. Make-up deposits or demolition debris were identified in trial pits 3, 4 and 8. Intact fabric of the south wall of the South Range corridor was identified within trial pit 5. A well-preserved section of mortar floor, overlain by charcoal lenses was identified in trial pit 6. A well-preserved crushedtile deposit, associated with an intact limestone step structure was identified in trial pit 7. Deposits probably derived from Victorian or modern excavation at the site were identified in trial pits 1, 2 and 4 (overlying Roman deposits in the later), although these deposits may date to the Roman period. Roman and later deposits exposed within the trial pits were sealed by stony soil deposits, possibly derived from Victorian excavations, overlain by modern topsoil and tarmac deposits. |
