Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken across approximately 4.4ha of land at Truman's Farm on the eastern edge of Gotherington, Gloucestershire (centred on NGR SO 97104 29638). It was undertaken on behalf of Lioncourt Strategic Land, with the site under consideration for residential development. Sixteen trenches of varying length were excavated in a broad array across the site, which was known from a preceding heritage assessment and geophysical survey to have buried ridge and furrow agricultural remains of probable medieval date. Across the trenches the archaeological remains observed confirmed that this site occupies an area of land previously used for mostly rural agricultural activity, with no indication of direct settlement due to the lack of features and the relative absence of cultural material remains from any period. The medieval and later pottery finds, found across the trenches, are likely to relate to this agriculture. The presence of a small amount of worked flint of a possible later Mesolithic/early Neolithic date is of interest, especially given the location of the site at the edge of an advantageous topographical position, suggesting that there may be a background scatter of prehistoric activity across the wider area.
