Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at 15/15A, Tetbury Street, Minchinhampton, Gloucestershire (SO 87271 00661). It was undertaken at the request of Orion Heritage Ltd on behalf of their client, to support and allow determination of a planning application for residential development. The site lies on sloping ground on the east side of Minchinhampton, just beyond the settlement's historic medieval core. Three trenches were excavated, revealing a retaining wall, post-medieval rubble deposit and small pit. A series of levelling deposits and buried soils attest to several phases of post-medieval re-landscaping within the site. A small assemblage of 13th to 19th century finds, including glazed roof tile fragments, indicative of domestic refuse were recovered from several deposits and are likely to originate from this and adjacent properties, including those fronting Tetbury Street. The site appears to have been used for small scale activities associated with neighbouring households during the post-medieval period, before becoming the current garden. |
