Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the land south of Fosseway Avenue, Moreton-in- Marsh, Gloucestershire (NGR SP 2042 3170). It was undertaken at the request of Arthur Amos Associates for their client Sainsbury's Supermarkets Ltd, who intend to construct a foodstore with associated car parking and landscaping, for which a planning application is in preparation. The site lies to the south of the town of Moreton in Marsh close to an area in which prehistoric and Romano-British settlement is known from a complex of cropmarks. The Romano-British Fosseway forms the western edge of the site. A penannular ditch and series of linear features has been identified as cropmarks on an aerial photograph within the site. A desk based assessment of the site was carried out prior to the evaluation and a geophysical survey in which a number of anomalies were identified. Ten trenches were excavated across the site and located to investigate geophysical anomalies and cropmarks as well as to create an even distribution over the proposed development area. The investigations revealed that the natural substrate/archaeological horizon was relatively shallow and few features of archaeological significance were present. A very shallow feature in the location of the penannular cropmark was present, from which nineteenth century pottery was recovered. It is, however, possible that this material was intrusive and it the feature may represent the base of a prehistoric or Romano-British ditch. A single undated east/west aligned gully was also in the southern half of the site that is believed to be associated with drainage as a large number of later post-medieval and modern drainage ditches were noted crossing the field which account in part for the linear cropmarks. A modern pit and geotechnical exploration trench were also recorded.
