Images and GIS from an Archaeological Excavation and Watching Brief at Newark Farm Hempsted, Gloucester, Gloucestershire 2018

This collection comprises site data (images and GIS) from a programme of archaeological works consisting of an excavation and watching brief was that was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in February and March 2018 at Newark Farm Hempsted, Gloucester, Gloucestershire. The excavation was located in the south-eastern area of the development, targeted on features identified in a previous evaluation of the site. The watching brief focused on groundworks in the north part of the site. The excavation revealed a number of ditches, pits and postholes focused on the southern area, which were subsequently superseded by ridge and furrow cultivation of medieval and/or post-medieval date across the whole area. There was little secure dating evidence, but most of the features are likely to have been of medieval date, pre-dating the cultivation features, while the few sherds of Roman pottery are likely to have been residual.
