Abstract: |
A watching brief was conducted by John Moore Heritage Services during the laying of a new gas pipeline at Five Mile Drive, Blockley, Gloucestershire (NGR 41400 23473) in September 2010. The pipeline ran from a connection spur at the Blockley road in the north and c. 1.1 km to a connection point in the south. The easement was between 7 and 8 m wide and was entirely dug in field-land east of Five Mile Drive (A44). A number of ditches and a pit were found. The features were all associated with drainage for the farming of the land in recent years. Only one ditch was interpreted as being older, since a tobacco clay pipe was found in its fill. In the southern part of the pipe trench a Roman silver coin of Emperor Caracalla, 198-217 AD was recovered. |
