Intrusive groundworks were monitored in accordance with the WSI and discussions the Gloucester City Archaeologist. All sections were cleaned and recorded in order to identify archaeological finds and deposits. Groundworks were carried out under the constant direction of the archaeologist. A toothless grading bucket was used except where a toothed bucket was necessary for health and safety reasons. Natural deposits were only partly exposed during these works. The earliest stratigraphic layer present within the watched area was (106/204/308/407), which may represent the top of the Roman soil horizon. This was present at minimum depth of 0.52m below the Modern ground level (in Trench 4) and was directly sealed by late Post-medieval/Modern layers. The earliest feature present appeared to be cut [108], this feature was undated but cut probable Roman soil horizon (106) and was itself cut by substantial Modern pit [104]. The remaining archaeological features/deposits on site were securely dated to the late Post-medieval and/or Modern periods; predominantly in the form of a series of probable pits, which were present across the whole site [108/207/209/212/306/404]. Two separate areas of a floor/yard surface were also present in Trenches 1 and 2. The late Post-medieval/Modern floor surface (115) in Foundation Trench 1 is likely to be associated with one of the two buildings seen on the 1884 Ordnance Survey Map. It was a well-worn surface that was visible in both section faces. Therefore it is likely to survive east and west of the trench but excavation showed that it did not continue to the north and south of the one metre surface that was recorded. The area of stone slabs and bricks (214), present in Trench 2, was more irregular in appearance. However, this may partly be due to the disturbance during the removal of a millstone which was situated on top of (214). A mill and mill pond were recorded at the ASDA superstore site on Station Road, just north of Charles Street, although it is uncertain whether the mill stone originated from that site. The millstone was photographed and recorded but not retained as part of the archive, as Gloucester Museum confirmed by email that it had a number of millstones and did not need any further examples. The archaeological evidence present on the site therefore consisted of a number of probable pits and two stone/brick surfaces, which date to the late Post-medieval and/or Modern periods. Probable intact Roman horizons were pre...
