Abstract

In June 2019 Oxford Archaeology conducted the second phase of
archaeological evaluation at the site of a proposed new housing development
at Winneycroft, Matson, Gloucester, Gloucestershire. Five 30m x 1.8m
trenches were excavated in the vicinity of Trench 26 from the previous phase
of evaluation, undertaken in 2014, where several Roman pottery sherds had
been recovered from the subsoil. This phase of evaluation was intended to
locate and characterise any Roman features that were associated with these
finds.
The evaluation uncovered a Roman field boundary ditch running N-S across
two of the trenches (the ditches also probably ran across Trench 26). Other
features within the trenches included ridge and furrow cultivation, a shallow
post-medieval posthole and a row of seven undated postholes most likely
representing a former agricultural fenceline
