Abstract:		 An evaluation was undertaken on behalf of the Environment Agency (The Client) at Longney Flood Defences, Longney, Gloucestershire (NGR ref SO 375841 214413), as the Environment Agency intends to cut out the core of the old defences and this work was considered by the curator to have the potential to affect a site of archaeological interest. The evaluation trenches sucessfully identified earlier phases of flood defences, comprising well-compacted silt banks and evidence of an associated post hole structure. Artefactual evidence indicated that these earlier banks were of 18th century date. The dating of these earlier banks correlates well with the implications of the recent desk based assessment, which concluded that this area of bank certainly predated the 1780s. No evidence of flood defences pre-dating the post medieval period was revealed within the evaluation trenches. However, given the substantial build-up of the post-medieval and modern material it would seem quite feasible that any earlier earthworks are too deeply buried to have been observed within the limits of excavation.
