Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Matthews Developments to undertake an archaeological excavation at Heritage Court, Glastonbury, Somerset, centred on National Grid Reference ST 49785 38758. Planning permission (114449/000) has been granted by Mendip District Council for the residential development of the site and associated works, including provision of a car parking area. The earliest recorded finds from the excavation were dated to the Romano-British period, and included pottery and a copper alloy coin, both dated to the 2nd century AD. The Romano-British finds were recovered from a buried soil recorded above the natural clay within a cobbled surface, and as residual finds in later medieval features. It is likely that the material reflects Romano-British activity within the local vicinity of the site. The majority of the features recorded were predominately 12th to 14th century in date, and included linear ditches, pits and postholes. The features provided evidence for the establishment and expansion of regular aligned tenements in the medieval period, which were laid out from Magdalene Street to the east, and/or Benedict Street to the north. The excavation area lay to the rear of these properties, and evidence from three medieval pits was indicative of settlement/wasteland soils presumably located within the back-plots of these properties. Two small post-medieval pits contained evidence of local tanning processes, as recorded previously to the south of the site. A post-medieval boundary wall, dry stone well and a flagstone drainage culvert were also recorded
