Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land off Oakhurst Rise, Charlton Kings, Cheltenham (NGR 396519 221604). It was undertaken on behalf of CgMs Consulting Ltd, whose client William Morris (Cheltenham) Ltd proposes a residential development of the site, for which a planning application is in preparation. The site lies on the eastern side of Cheltenham and comprises two fields on the south western slope of Battledown Hill to the north of St Edward's Preparatory School. Battledown Camp, a Scheduled Monument (NHLE 1002083), is situated 420m north of the site. Five trenches, amounting to just over 375m² in area were opened targeting anomalies identified in a prior geophysical survey and a possible earthwork. Three shallow furrows were identified, which correlated with the results of a geophysical survey though other anomalies did not represent archaeological features. A brick-lined borehole probably associated with a late 19th century ice house was revealed. No further archaeological features were identified. The finds assemblage comprised a small quantity of residual post-medieval and modern pottery. |
