The evaluation works comprised a metal detector survey followed by the excavation of five trenches each measuring 10m by 1.6m. The trenches were laid out as shown in Figure 2 using a GPS with sub-15mm accuracy. Prior to the commencement of the trial trench evaluation, the site was subjected to a metal detector survey. The survey was designed to identify metal objects that may indicate the presence of grave goods in burials. A number of positive responses were recorded during the survey (Fig. 2) and the trenches repositioned from the locations proposed in the WSI to investigate them. Trenches 3 and 4 were both moved slightly to the east and re-orientated onto broadly NE-SW alignments. Trench 5 was moved to the south and changed to a NW-SE alignment. Neither Trench 1 or Trench 2 were moved as these had been positioned to investigate the results of the geophysical survey. The trenches were excavated using a JCB fitted with a 1.6m wide toothless bucket under the direct supervision of an archaeologist. Spoil was stored adjacent to, but at a safe distance from the trench edges. The trenches and the up-cast spoil were scanned with a metal detector at regular intervals. Machining continued in even spits down to the top of the undisturbed natural geology. The exposed surface of the trench was sufficiently clean to establish the presence or absence of archaeological remains. Where archaeological deposits were exposed, further excavation proceeded by hand. All excavation and recording was undertaken in accordance with the methodology outlined in the WSI. Upon completion of the works and in agreement with the Local Planning Archaeologist, Charles Parry, the trenches were backfilled. Between 30th October and 1st November 2019, Oxford Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation and metal detector survey at Site K1B, Clayfurlong View, Kemble, Gloucestershire (NGR 398892 197637). A total of five trenches were excavated which had been targeted to investigate anomalies identified by a previous geophysical survey and to target the results of the metal detector survey. Two postholes and a small pit were recorded in one of the trenches, with no features of an archaeological origin present in the other trenches. A small assemblage of Iron Age pottery was recovered from each of the postholes. Although the features do not relate to anomalies identified by the prior geophysical survey, they are located within the same area. Therefore, even though the results of the geoph...
