Abstract:
The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation 4.1. of three test-pits, each measuring 1.5m in length and 1.5m in width. In January 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation at the former Car & Tyre Garage, The Waterloo, Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Three test-pits were excavated. A probable buried soil horizon of Roman date was identified in all of the excavated test-pits at a depth of between 1.05m and 1.16m below present ground level (bpgl; 107.14m AOD and 107.65m AOD). In Test-pit 1 Roman structural remains, comprising a wall and a possible drainage feature constructed from Roman tegulae (roof tile), were identified below a layer of Roman demolition material, revealed at a depth of 0.57m bpgl (107.73m AOD). In Test-pits 2 and 3 similar demolition deposits were identified sealing the postulated buried soil horizon at a depth of 0.67m bpgl (107.93m AOD) and 0.62m bpgl (108.08m AOD) respectively. In all of the excavated test-pits the identified Roman demolition material was sealed by a dark mixed silt sand deposit which appears to represent a heavily reworked ‘dark-earth’, cultivation or make-up deposit that contained post-medieval and modern material.
