Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with the erection of a replacement house and garage at Cedar House, 38 Cricklade Road, Highworth, Wiltshire. Evidence of Roman activity, comprising two ditches and a pit containing pottery of broad Roman date, was revealed within the foundation trenches excavated for the replacement house. The function of these features remains unclear; however it is possible that they relate to known Roman settlement activity previously identified in the vicinity of the current site, although they are considered most likely to relate to agricultural activity given the limited quantities of artefactual material recovered from their respective fills. A number of irregular pits, the majority of which contained artefactual material of late post-medieval/modern date, were identified within the foundation trenches excavated for both the replacement dwelling and garage and they may relate to a former workhouse built nearby during the late 18th-century or to the construction of the existing dwelling during the 1960s.
