Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Land off Evesham Road, Greet, Gloucestershire (NGR SP 0241 3014). It was commissioned by CgMs on behalf of Mrs Rose Quilter c/o Bruton Knowles Ltd in advance of proposed residential development for which a planning application has been submitted to Tewkesbury Borough Council. The site is located on the northern side of the village of Greet, approximately 1.8km north of Winchcombe. A desk-based assessment for the site concluded that it contains extant earthwork remains, likely relating to former medieval settlement and agricultural activity of local to regional significance. A geophysical survey of the site, using both gradiometer and earth resistance survey, identified a number of possible small enclosures/house platforms, along with ridge and furrow and a land drain. Five trenches were excavated during the evaluation, targeting earthwork features and/or geophysical anomalies. A number of archaeological features were identified within the trenches. Some of these features, including three ditches, were visible as earthwork features and appear to correlate with anomalies identified during the geophysical survey. Other smaller or shallower gullies and ditches which were identified do not appear to survive as extant earthworks or as geophysical anomalies. Archaeological finds recovered from the features indicates that the site was subject to activity during the Roman period, the 10th-11th centuries AD, and the 13th-14th centuries AD. However given the small quantities of finds recovered and their abraded nature, together with the generally small and/or shallow nature of the features, it is likely that the activity was probably associated with low level agriculture and/or drainage, rather than more intensive settlement or industrial activity.
