Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2014 on land at Winneycroft, Matson, Gloucester, Gloucestershire. Forty-seven trenches were excavated. The earliest datable features encountered comprised a concentration of Late Iron Age/Early Roman ditches within the southern part of the site, correlating with circular and rectangular anomalies identified during a preceding geophysical survey. The features, which also included several truncated pits, suggest a focus of mid to late 1st to 2nd-century AD occupation. A single, residual, prehistoric worked flint was also recovered. Evidence of medieval and/or later agricultural practice was identified across a large part of the site in the form of plough furrows, together with associated post-medieval/early modern land drains, on varying alignments. A post-medieval/early modern ditch, possibly a former field boundary, and a pit were also noted. |
