Abstract:		 An Archaeological Watching Brief at 21 Kingsholm Square, Gloucester during groundworks for a property extension Avon Archaeology Limited undertook a watching brief during groundworks related to the construction of a small, single-storey extension on the rear of an existing dwelling house in Kingsholm Square, Gloucester. The project was rather unusual in that the brief consisted of monitoring a series of augured boreholes for piles, rather than conventional trench-dug foundations, so the work was necessarily limited to checking the deposits coming up with the auguring. The depths of the various deposits could also, again by definition, be measured with only rough accuracy, as they had to be estimated as closely as conditions allowed from the number of drill bits, of known length, that were in the ground at any one time. Despite these constraints, the deposits identified across all the excavated boreholes were consistent, ceramic of Romano-British date was identified in the uppermost of the deposits identified from the various boreholes, and as significantly, an unexpected development was the presence of what was clearly ?riverine alluvium as the lower of the deposits recorded.
