Abstract:		 The fieldwork comprised the excavation of 57 trenches (each measuring 50m in length by 1.6m in width) in the locations shown on the attached plan. The trenches targeted archaeological features identified by the geophysical survey. An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology between October 2017 and January 2018 on land at Elms Park, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. A total of 57 trenches were excavated. Particularly intensive activity dating from the Iron Age through to the 4th-century AD was identified towards the centre of the site. This comprised a dense area of ditched enclosures super-imposed on each other which were subject to frequent maintenance. Datable artefacts were noted to be most common in from the Late Iron Age, peaking in the 2nd-century AD. The high quantity of artefactual retrieval from this area indicated a settlement function for these enclosures rather than simple agricultural enclosures. With the exception of two discrete small enclosures, likely representing animal enclosures, there was comparatively sparse activity identified in the northern part of the site.
