Abstract:		 Three ditches of Romano-British date were recorded in the cable trench section. All of these were aligned north/south as far as was possible to discern in the narrow cable trench. Two of the ditches were 5.9 metres apart, and appeared to represent one element of a rectilinear pattern of roads or trackways recorded on aerial photographs. These particular ditches were part of a north/south road located to the south of the town of Alchester. Two sherds of central Gaulish Samian pottery of early 2nd century AD were recovered from the fill of a ditch in the eastern extent of the trench. This feature was probably the northernmost roadside ditch of a road also recorded on an aerial photograph plot, running perpendicular to the roadside ditches to the west, although it appeared to be aligned more north/south when seen in section. No evidence of any road surfaces were found. A number of unstratified Romano-British potsherds and fragments of animal bone were recovered from the topsoil/subsoil horizon along the trench. The pottery was indicative of settlement activity in the area from the 1st-3rd centuries AD. [Au(abr)]
