Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at the former British Energy site, Barnwood Road, Hucclecote, Gloucester (NGR SO 8639 1808; Fig 1), on behalf of Persimmon Homes. The client intends to redevelop the site for residential use for which a planning application has been submitted. The initial soil strip was generally not taken below the depth of the subsoil, so only small patches of the natural undisturbed sand and gravel were identified. This strip, within the southern area, amounted to just over 40% of the site. In addition 32 trenches, and a topsoil strip at the site of a new road were excavated to varied depths. Two disturbed partial inhumation burials were recorded, along with an adjacent scatter of human bone, on the eastern side of the site. Although intrinsically undated, they are interpreted to represent the continuation of a Roman cemetery previously identified to the south-east (GCM 52, 98, 102 and 1248). Located to the north-west of the Roman burials and conjectured to be dated by association was the partial remains of deliberately buried cow skeleton. A pit containing finds of post-medieval date was recorded, however it is not possible to determine its function. Features located in Area 2 were only viewed in section and due to the limited recording and lack of finds retrieved, it was not possible to ascertain their date or function. No trace of the quarry or infectious diseases hospital was identified, and no other deposits, features, layers or structures of archaeological significance were identified. Deposits of modern made ground within the southern portion of Area 1 reflect the findings of the previous evaluation. Deliberate makeup and dump deposits relating to the landscaping of the site associated with a small golf course was observed to the north of Area 2, similar to those identified within the previous evaluation.
