Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology in April 2019 at 78 Gretton Road, Winchcombe, Gloucestershire (NGR SP 02292 29212). This comprised observation of groundworks associated with the creation of a new dwelling within the subdivided garden. The site is located at the northern extent of Winchcombe, c 850m north of the historic core of the town and just 20m south-west of a scheduled monument (NHLE 1021449; SM No. 21700). The scheduled area comprises a Romano-British villa site, with associated enclosures and field systems, occupied from the mid-2nd to late-3rd century AD. No significant archaeological features or deposits were identified within the footprint of the proposed development. A small sherd of Roman pottery recovered most likely derived from the villa site. A fragment of medieval 13th-16th century tile is an interesting find as it shows some evidence of being deliberately rounded to form a counter or stopper. This may have been used as a crude gaming piece. |
