Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land to the east of the A38, at Coombe Hill, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire (NGR 388931, 227231). It was commissioned by CgMs Consulting, for Robert Hitchins Limited and Bovis Homes Limited who intend that the land be developed for residential purposes, for which an outline planning permission will be to Tewkesbury Borough Council. Eight trenches, seven of which were 30m in length, the other 9.50m in length, were excavated across a single field. The trenches were arranged in a non-gridded array in order to interrogate and characterise known geophysical anomalies and to test the quality of capture from the survey in blank areas. Archaeological remains of varying significance were identified. Where geophysical anomalies had been highlighted there was a good correlation with features observed, particularly plough furrows. There was also an archaeological component to the site beyond that located through geophysical survey, namely a number of small gullies or small pit and posthole features of at least two phases of activity. Roman (probably early Roman) and post-medieval artefacts were recovered, although a number of the features actually appeared more characteristic of prehistoric activity. The majority of these appeared to be restricted to the south-east part of the site, in an area of lower-lying and boggy ground, and it may be that they are reflective of more ephemeral activity rather than direct settlement.
