Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with alterations to the existing layout of the public car park, including widening of the western entrance, construction of a new boundary wall and height restriction barrier, installation of new surface drainage, lighting columns and payment meters, and resurfacing at the Forum Car Park, Cirencester, Gloucestershire. A possible Roman demolition deposit was seen in Trench 11, below a 'dark earth' deposit. The remains of a 17th to 18th-century north-east/south-west orientated wall foundation were seen in Trench 6. The watching brief revealed that there is an average depth of 0.7m of modern deposits consisting of footpath and car park make-up and surfacing deposits, and 19th to 20th-century garden deposits, below present ground level within the site. |
