Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken of land rear of 14, Horsbere Road, Hucclecote, Gloucester, during the groundworks associated with the construction of a single residential building. It was commissioned by Miranda Hobbs. The site was located approximately 150m northwest of Hucclecote Roman Villa. The footprint of the new building measured 12.5m by 7m (Figure 2; Plate 1). The excavation of the footing trench for the external wall was observed. The trench typically measured 0.6m in width and 1.1m in depth. No significant archaeological features, deposits or finds were identified during the course of the watching brief. A sequence of historic deposits were identified in the footing trench (natural, subsoil/alluvium, and topsoil) which all appeared to slope gently to the north-west, indicating that this was the original profile of the site, which had later been levelled by dumping rubble and clay on top of the original topsoil. This presumably occurred c 1950s or early 1960s when the surrounding housing estate was built. The historic subsoil was a very fine silty clay which may have been alluvial in origin, possibly the result of historic flooding of Horsbere Brook, located immediately north of the site. Page
