Abstract:		 The excavation area measured 30m by 30m. Fieldwork commenced with the removal of topsoil and subsoil from the excavation area by mechanical excavator with a toothless grading bucket, under archaeological supervision. Due to onsite constraints from an overhead cable, the eastern extent of the excavation area was unable to be stripped. During the Watching Brief, an archaeologist was present during intrusive groundworks associated with a new cycle lane and footpath and building plots 79 and 80, which lay within the eastern extent of the original excavation area. Between July 2018 and July 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological excavation and watching brief on land to the rear of Canonbury Road, Berkeley. Within the excavation area, a ditch and pit dating to the 3rd to 4th century AD were identified. An undated pit was also identified in this area and is considered likely to be contemporary with these features. All of the features identified contained quantities of ironworking slag and hammerscale, likely to relate to iron smithing. However, no direct evidence of iron smithing taking place on the site itself was recorded during the current works. No further features or deposits of archaeological interest were identified during the watching brief.
