Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Parcel E, Quedgeley Framework Plan, Gloucester. It was commissioned by Neil Wright, RPS Consulting on behalf of Quedgeley Urban Village Ltd, in advance of a proposed mixed use development. Planning permission has been granted subject to a programme of archaeological works. The site as a whole comprises an open area comprising concrete roads, areas of hard standing and grassed areas. Parcel E comprises an area of hardstanding in the area of a former factory building and car park. Parcel E had previously been subject to two phases of evaluation trenching in 2016 and 2020. During the 2020 evaluation two trenches were located within the footprint of a former RAF building which was extant during the 2016 archaeological evaluation. No archaeological features or deposits were identified within Trench 29, however, a small gully was identified in the easternmost Trench 30. The gully was located in the south of the trench and was aligned north-west to south-east. It remained unexcavated; however, a sherd of Roman Severn Valley Ware pottery was recovered from the backfill. Following this, two further trenches to the south west of the factory, both 25m in length were excavated to establish if any further archaeological remains survived as part of this trenching evaluation. The trenches were located for best fit and as close to the proposed trench locations as possible, given service, vegetation and other obstacles. The two trenches both had modern made ground and demolition rubble overlying the natural ground with modern truncations from building footings and services. This demonstrated that the area had been heavily truncated by modern development and the subsequent demolition activities. There was no further evidence of any significant archaeology surviving in Parcel E as part of this trenching evaluation. |
