Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in August and September 2012 at the former Coal Research Establishment site, Stoke Orchard, Gloucestershire. Four trenches were excavated. The location and depth of a moated enclosure, previously identified during evaluation trenching in 2001, was recorded through investigations along its eastern and northern arms. The earliest surviving, waterlogged, silt-clay fills were undated. There was no evidence for gradual and prolonged accumulation of decaying vegetative detritus and these basal moat fills may represent rapid and relatively late silting of the ditch, with the strong possibility that many or all of the original medieval deposits had been cleaned out. Palaeo-environmental and geoarchaeological assessment of the earliest surviving moat fills within Trench 11 revealed few and generally poorly preserved molluscs and plant remains present, and pollen assessment is not considered useful given that the basal deposits are not well dated and not definitely of medieval date. Several moat fills contained post-medieval artefacts, together with residual medieval and Roman pottery. Further residual Roman pottery was recovered from a pit cut into the partially infilled moat, and from a post-medieval soil horizon. Extensive modern dumping was noted within the moat ditch.
