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. |
