The evaluation works comprised a metal detector survey followed by the excavation of five trenches measuring 20m by 1.6m each. Prior to the commencement of the trial trench evaluation, the site was subjected to a metal detector survey. The survey was used to identify metal objects that may indicate the presence of burials. Several positive signals were recorded by the survey and therefore the proposed locations of all five trenches were adjusted from those outlined in the WSI to better target the results. The trenches were laid out as shown in Figure 2 using a GPS with sub-15mm accuracy. The trenches were excavated using a JCB 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. Trenches and the up-cast spoil were scanned with a metal detector as appropriate. Machining continued in even spits down to the top of the undisturbed natural geology or the first archaeological horizon depending upon which is encountered first. The exposed surface was sufficiently cleaned to establish the presence/absence of archaeological remains. All hand excavation and recording were 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 30 October and 1 November 2019, Oxford Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation at Site K5, Orchard Grove, Kemble, Gloucestershire (NGR 398887 197337). A total of five trenches measuring 20m by 1.6 were excavated within the area of a proposed residential development. The trenches were positioned to provide an even coverage of the site and investigate the results of a metal detector survey. No archaeological features were identified, suggesting there is limited or no potential for archaeological remains to be present within the site and confirming the results of previously submitted desk-based assessment.
