Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Mark Thompson of groundworks at 81, Gloucester Street, Winchcombe, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire (NGR SP 02025 28177). The site was located on the alignment of the defences of Winchcombe's Anglo- Saxon town, so was considered to have the potential to disturb significant archaeological deposits. No archaeological deposits or features were observed, nor finds recovered relating to Anglo-Saxon activity. A short limestone and sandstone wall footing contained a single sherd of a Cistercian typeware, providing a terminus post quem date range of early 16th to mid-17th century for its construction, although this may have been residual from the surrounding garden soils. Otherwise no significant archaeological features, layers, structure horizons or artefacts were recorded. Garden soils and garden walls were observed with areas of modern truncation relating to the former garage and associated groundworks in the north-west of the site. A typical range of post medieval pottery was present within the soils, reflecting the recent history of domestic occupation. Clean natural limestone brash deposits were only observed toward the north-west end of the site, from 0.35-0.75m depth below ground level.
