Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with the construction of two single storey extensions to the rear elevation of the property, along with associated hard paving, at 10 Corinium Gate, Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Probable Roman rampart layers, associated with the defensive circuit exposed previously during the evaluation of the site and at 18 Corinium Gate, were revealed directly beneath modern deposits. A small segment of in situ limestone surface or wall was also exposed. This may be the remains of a possible Ascensus or stone covering at the rear of the rampart. Alternatively it may form part of a possible internal tower, similar to that seen c. 130m to the north-west within the 'Abbey Grounds'. No further significant archaeological finds or deposits were recorded. |
