Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment was undertaken of Glebe Land at Slimbridge, Gloucestershire (NGR: SO 7408 0356). It was undertaken on behalf of the Church of England (Diocese of Gloucester), which intends to establish a woodland burial ground for which a planning application would be submitted. The aims of this assessment have been to summarise the character and extent of any features of the historic environment identifiable through deskbased assessment, to indicate their significance and the impact of the proposed development, and, where appropriate, to identify mitigation measures. The study area comprises five fields to the immediate north-east of the village, adjacent to the moated Old Rectory site, a scheduled ancient monument thought to be the location of the medieval manor, and the parish church of St John which has early 13th century elements. Extant ridge and furrow earthworks occupy most of these fields, their open S-shape indicating a possible earlier medieval origin. The orientation of the ridges also suggests that the site was made up of more, smaller fields prior to the earliest cartographic source of 1803. Three possible enclosures have also been identified from aerial photographs, two of which appear to pre-date the ridge and furrow agricultural regime. Investigations within the site, immediately to the north-west of the old Rectory, have also identified remains of Roman and early Saxon settlement activity, argued to indicate that earlier occupation lay to the west of the present village church.
