Groundworks consisted of ground reduction of the footprint for a proposed carpark providing 333 spaces with an associated new access road from the A429 and a new pedestrian access route to Kemble station. Two ditches were present on site. The largest of these was Roman of the 2nd – 3rd century dated by Samian ware, a coin and small buckle piece, and displayed evidence of reuse in the Saxon period. Post-dating this were three small pits located along the same ditch line. The smaller ditch included a parallel hedgerow which represented former segmentation of the present field in the Mid to Late Medieval period likely prior to enclosure acts. Lazy bed features were present across a large portion of the site and there was widespread evidence for late 19th to early 20th century activity in the form of a quarry, bottle dump and prolific waste material in the topsoil.
