Abstract:		 The earliest features encountered comprised a Late Bronze Age pit and pit/ditch. Several circular features identified by the previous geophysical survey produced little dating evidence but are interpreted as being the probable remains of funerary monuments of Bronze Age date. Evidence for extensive Iron Age activity, particularly during the Later Iron Age was encountered to the east and west of Brockworth Court. Settlement of this date on site was attested to by several circular features which appeared to represent roundhouse drip gullies and/or construction trenches. Pits, postholes and ditches of this date were also identified. Elements of the Late Iron Age landscape continued into the Roman period. Several enclosure ditches contained both Iron Age and Roman dating and were cut on several occasions. To the east of Brockworth Court several enclosure and fieldsystem ditches dated to the Roman period. To the west of Brockworth Court a trackway/droveway dated to the Romano-British period. An intensive zone of Romano-British (and Iron Age) activity was identified within the eastern part of the trackway/droveway. This activity probably comprised settlement and small-scale gravel extraction. Evidence of medieval and/or post-medieval agricultural practice, comprising ploughed-out ridge and furrow cultivation remains, was identified throughout the site. Post-medieval and modern features identified included a 17th century brick kiln and nearby clay pit with brick waste, field drains and modern dump deposits thought to relate to construction of the adjacent A417 dual carriageway. Numerous undated pits, gullies and postholes were encountered within the site. A single undated east/west burial was identified.
