Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in October 2018 at The Old Kennels, Cirencester Park, Gloucestershire. Six trenches were excavated. The evaluation identified four ditches, six pits, a grave and a wall, concentrated in the central and southern areas of the site. While some features can be reasonably assigned to the Roman period, the majority of features remained undated. The evaluation identified a grave containing an infant burial. The location of the grave adjacent to the projected course of the Fosse Way suggests a Roman date and a possible western expansion of known funerary activity of this period flanking the road. Two nearby pits contained eight in situ Roman vessels between them, however there was no evidence of cremated or articulated human remains associated with either pit. A ditch aligned parallel to the Roman road and containing a sherd of Roman pottery was also identified. A group of four pits at the south of the site and a rectilinear enclosure in the centre of the site had distinctive dark fills and may have been contemporary, although no finds were recovered from any of these features. One of the pits was cut by the construction of a stone wall, which although parallel with the Roman ditch and the Fosse Way, was likely to have been later in date.
