A programme of archaeological recording was undertaken on behalf of the Governors of Rendcomb College during the construction phase of a new Performing Arts building. Several phases of observation were undertaken during the construction process. In the proposed building footprint a possible Iron Age pit and several associated undated pits were revealed alongside a probable Roman enclosure ditch and an undated ditch and gully. In an area designated for temporary spoil storage the topsoil removal partially revealed wall foundations for several buildings or structures outside the application area. Possible external surfaces and a gully were also encountered. This evidence may represent medieval settlement activity.
