Land at Bassett Road, Northleach, Gloucestershire

Oxford Archaeology South (OAS) was commissioned by Gloucestershire County
Council to undertake an archaeological evaluation of land at Bassett Road,
Northleach, Gloucestershire (centred on NGR SP 12106 14345). The work was
performed in order to inform the planning authority in advance of submission of a
planning application.
The work was undertaken between 13th-17th January 2014. A total of nine trenches
were excavated across the site.
The evaluation uncovered evidence for the medieval and post-medieval land use of
the site in the form of stone walls forming field boundaries. Pottery recovered from
the fabric of one of the walls dated from the 12th-14th centuries. A pit was also
uncovered that contained medieval pottery. Other features uncovered included an
undated ditch and pits of 19th century date.
