Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in October 2011 on land off Greet Road, Winchcombe, Gloucestershire. The fieldwork comprised the excavation of 13 trenches. The evaluation identified a concentration of archaeological remains within the western part of the site (Area B), with a much lower density within the eastern part of the site (Area A). Archaeological features were predominately Roman in date and survived at an average depth of between 0.3m and 0.6m below the current ground surface. . The identified features appear to represent settlement activity dating to the 2nd to 4th centuries AD. This correlates with the periods of activity within the Scheduled Monument immediately to the south where settlement activity spans the early Roman period through to the late 3rd century AD. Little evidence of Roman activity was found to the east of Greet Road. The evidence for medieval and post-medieval activity comprised the ploughed remnants of ridge and furrow cultivation. |
