Abstract:		 The fieldwork followed the methodology set out within the WSI (CA 2016). An excavation area was agreed with Adrian Scruby (WDC) which focussed on the probable Roman features revealed in Trenches 4, 5 and 6 of the preceding evaluation (WHEAS 2011). Following a site monitoring visit with Adrian Scruby on 28 November 2016, the excavated area was extended slightly to the north to expose more of the Late Iron Age gullies identified, giving a total excavated area of 4313m². The excavated area was set out on OS National Grid (NGR) co-ordinates using Leica GPS and surveyed in accordance with CA Technical Manual 4: Survey Manual. Fieldwork commenced with the removal of topsoil and subsoil from the excavation area by mechanical excavator with a toothless grading bucket, under archaeological supervision. The archaeological features thus exposed were hand-excavated to the bottom of archaeological stratigraphy and sample excavated as specified in the Written Scheme of Investigation (CA 2016); enclosure ditches 50%, linear boundaries 10%, pits 50% and structural remains 100% (CA 2016). All features were planned and recorded in accordance with CA Technical Manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual. Deposits were assessed for their environmental potential and were sampled in accordance with CA Technical Manual 2: The Taking and Processing of Environmental and Other Samples from Archaeological Site. All artefacts recovered from the excavation were retained in accordance with CA Technical Manual 3: Treatment of finds immediately after excavation. An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in November and December 2016 at Brooklands Farm, Cheltenham Road, Evesham, Worcestershire. The excavation identified parts of four circular or part-circular gullies located in the north-western part of the excavated area, a sub-square enclosure located in the central portion of the area, and a small number of pits and post holes that are all dated to the Middle to Late Iron Age. Four ditches, containing pottery of Roman date and seemingly forming part of an agricultural field system, were identified in the southern and western part of the excavation area. Medieval and/or post-medieval and modern activity was also present, mostly in the form of plough furrows.
