Abstract:
Border Archaeology Ltd (BAL) was commissioned by Colin Purser Esq on behalf of Haywards (Tewkesbury) Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological field evaluation with respect to a site located to the rear of Nos. 125-6 High Street Tewkesbury. The programme of archaeological investigation followed submission of a Desk-Based Assessment, also undertaken by BAL. The site lies within the Tewkesbury Conservation Area. Three trenches were opened. Considerable disturbance was observed in all three trenches resulting from construction and eventual demolition of the cottages and workshops that occupied the site in the 19th century and which are shown on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map of 1885. Evidence of brick cellarage of probable 19th-century date associated with these cottages was noted in all three trenches, including the barrel vault of a cellar (106) revealed in Trench 1. Trench 1 also demonstrated the survival of undisturbed medieval or post-medieval garden soils at its eastern end, where later post-medieval disturbance had not occurred. Trench 3, located in the northeast part of the site, revealed a substantial pit dating to the later medieval or early post-medieval period. In addition to medieval pottery and animal bone, the fill of this feature contained Romano-British pottery, including a sherd of Samian ware and one of rusticated greyware. The presence of Samian ware could indicate high-status occupation, such as that represented by deposits at the Sabrina Cinema site, where painted plaster and opus signinum (Roman pavement) were also found. The pottery probably dates to the 2nd Century AD.
