Abstract: |
Border Archaeology Ltd was instructed by Gloucester City Homes to undertake a programme of archaeological field evaluation on land at St. James's Close Quedgeley Gloucester (centred upon NGR SO 8081 1423) prior to proposed residential development. The site is currently an undeveloped area of grassland, scrub and hardstanding; the extant remains of brick structure of late 18th -or early 19th -century date are present within the eastern part of the site. St James' Close lies within the core of the medieval settlement of Quedgeley and - based upon the results of previous investigation carried out to the north - the course of the Roman road between Gloucester (Glevum) and the port of Sea Mills (Abonae) would appear to run on a northeast/southwest alignment through the site. Five trenches were opened to determine the extent of the surviving archaeology. These revealed only a modern shallow ditch and posthole located close to the extant building. No evidence for the Roman road was identified, although it is possible that significant previous ground disturbance may have removed any remains. No further features or deposits of archaeological significance were identified. |
