Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology undertook the excavation of a site at Homelands Farm, Bishops Cleeve, Gloucestershire, from April to July 2015. This report presents the results of the excavation, as well as the inclusion of the specialist post-excavation analysis of the site archive, comprising the finds, environmental and C14 data, which was produced in response to recommendations outlined in the assessment stage of the project. The main area of excavation (Area 2) revealed evidence of human activity dating from the Bronze Age to the Romano British period. The earliest significant remains were two conjoined square ditched enclosures of Middle Bronze Age date. A possible round-house structure was located within the eastern enclosed area. The evidence suggests a settlement of some size and importance, as demonstrated by the amount of Middle Bronze Age pottery recovered from the site, which has been identified as the largest assemblage ever recovered in the north Gloucestershire region. There was evidence of cereals being grown, processed and stored on site, contemporary with the main period of settlement. Sites such as this are of particular importance to regional research as Bronze Age settlement activity is relatively sparse locally, with most recorded Bronze Age sites relating to funerary practices. The enclosures appear to have fallen out of use relatively quickly, with no firm evidence of subsequent occupation within the enclosures in the later Bronze Age or Iron Age periods. To the south of the main enclosures, three phases of field systems were identified - Bronze Age, Iron Age/Romano British, and Medieval/Post-medieval. Other excavation areas yielded limited evidence for archaeological activity, but the presence of medieval ridge and furrow features across Areas 1 and 2 points to a continuous agricultural activity in the area.
