Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology (WA) in December 2021 at Peter Scott House, Heathville Road, Gloucester. This comprised observation of the reduced dig and foundation trenches, concurrent with construction for the new extension to the rear of the current property. The project was commissioned by Brodie Planning Associates on behalf of Goodwins Funeral Directors. Planning permission had been granted by Gloucester City Council, subject to a programme of archaeological works. Peter Scott House is located in an area of known Roman activity. Roman deposits were found in the immediate vicinity of the site in the 1970s, and the site is located next to London Road, which is on the alignment of Ermin Street, the Roman Road between Gloucester and Cirencester. The site is also located within the recorded extent of Wotton Roman Cemetery. The foundation trenches and groundworks within the footprint of the building extension were monitored across the overall site. The watching brief demonstrated a high level of activity on site from the Victorian period onwards, with a series of demolition deposits, cellar wall foundations and a well in the centre of the site which dated to the Victorian period and is evident on the 1902 Ordnance Survey map, when the property was St Catherine's Vicarage. Only residual Roman finds were recovered, consisting of one sherd of Severn Valley Ware, dating from the mid-1st to the 4th century AD within a 19th century relict soil, together with other typical domestic wares that had a terminus post quem of c AD 1830. There was no evidence of any pre-19th century archaeological deposits or evidence of any in situ Roman activity exposed within the observed groundworks.
