The attending archaeologist also ensured that the approved methodology for the works was adhered to. No features or deposits of archaeological interest were observed during groundworks and no artefactual material predating the modern period was recovered. The shallow depth of the ploughing activities undertaken to provide the playing surfaces appears to have ensured that the depth at which archaeological features and deposits were previously identified in the archaeological evaluation were not reached or impacted upon. 3 Proposed New Grounds, Cirencester Polo Club, Daglingworth, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Watching Brief © Cotswold Archaeology 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 In June 2006 Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological watching brief for Cirencester Park Polo Club, on land adjoining the Cirencester Park polo grounds, Daglingworth, Gloucestershire (centred on NGR: SO 9899 0350; Fig. 1). 1.2 The watching brief was undertaken to fulfil a condition attached to a planning consent (Planning ref: 04/00509/FUL) for groundworks associated with the conversion of agricultural land to three polo grounds. The objective of the watching brief was to record all archaeological remains exposed during the development. 1.3 The archaeological fieldwork was carried out in accordance with a Method Statement agreed by Charles Parry (Gloucestershire County Council Archaeological Section) the archaeological advisor to the Local Planning Authority (LPA), and with a subsequent written scheme of investigation (WSI) produced by CA (2005) and approved by the LPA acting on the advice of Charles Parry. The fieldwork also followed the Standard and Guidance for an Archaeological Watching Brief issued by the Institute of Field Archaeologists (1999) and the Statement of Standards and Practices Appropriate for Archaeological Fieldwork in Gloucestershire (GCC 1996). The site 1.4 The Cirencester Park polo grounds are situated within Cirencester Park, north of the A419 and west of Cirencester town centre. The new grounds lie to the north-west of the existing polo lawns on agricultural land formerly under an arable regime (Fig. 2). 1.5 The site lies at approximately 160m AOD. The underlying geology of the area is mapped as Forest Marble of the Middle Jurassic era (BGS 1998). Archaeological background 1.6 A planning application to change the land use of the application area from agricultural to three polo fields was granted planning permission by Cotswold District Council in May 2004 (planning reference CT.8394). However, this consent required any intrusive groundworks associated with the construction of the polo grounds to be subject to a further planning application following archaeological evaluation. 4 Proposed New Grounds, Cirencester Polo Club, Daglingworth, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Watching Brief © Cotswold Archaeology 1.7 Archaeological evaluation of the application areas was subsequently undertaken in September and October 2004 (GCC 2004). It identified concentrations of later prehistoric activity, including Neolithic pits, post-holes and a ditch, an early Bronze Age pit, and Iron Age activity (ibid). 1.8 Following consultations between Agrostis Turf Consultancy, Cirencester Park Polo Club, Gloucestershire County Council Archaeological Section and Cotswold Archaeology, it was agreed that the provision of the three polo grounds would be undertaken without recourse to intrusive terracing, drainage etc. Instead, grass seed would be sown over the existing land profile (see attached Method Statement from Agrostis Turf Consultancy within Appendix 1). Should the provision of intrusive works, such as drainage, be required in the future it was agreed by all parties that they would be subject of a further planning application. Methodology 1.9 The fieldwork followed the methodology set out within the WSI (CA 2005). During site visits the attending archaeologist ensured that the agreed method statement for the works was adhered to, primarily that the ploughing prior to reseeding did not exceed 200mm in depth. 1.10 Written, graphic and photographic records were compiled in accordance with CA Technical Manual 1: Excavation Recording Manual (1996). 1.11 Subject to the agreement of the legal landowner the site archive will be deposited with Corinium Museum. 2. RESULTS 2.1 The intermittent observation of the intrusive ploughing works did not reveal any archaeological deposits or artefacts. 3. DISCUSSION 3.1 The shallow depth of the ploughing activities undertaken for the three polo grounds and surrounding area appears to have ensured that the depth at which 5 Proposed New Grounds, Cirencester Polo Club, Daglingworth, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Watching Brief © Cotswold Archaeology archaeological features and deposits were previously identified in the preceding archaeological evaluation were not reached or impacted upon. 4. CA PROJECT TEAM 4.1 Fieldwork was undertaken by Richard Young, and the report compiled by Kate Cullen. The illustrations were prepared by Lorna Gray. The archive has been compiled by Kate Cullen, and prepared for deposition by Teresa Gilmore. The project was managed for CA by Cliff Bateman. 5.

The grounds are to be located within the site as indicated below in relation to the existing ground (Peddington). GROUND 3 GROUND 2 GROUND 1 Peddington (exists already) It is understood that the design and depth of groundworks required for the development shall be approved in writing by the local planning authority prior to the commencement of the development. Depth of Groundwork The grounds are to be established on the existing land surface and no adjustment or disturbance of the soil profile below a depth of 200 mm will take place. Neither will there be any trenching or drainage incorporation that would disturb the soil profile below 200 mm. No groundworks are to be undertaken for additional elements such as fencing, parking etc. Areas

  • Daglingworth Draft 1.0 DAGLINGWORTH
    VCH Gloucestershire: Volume XVI, Daglingworth Draft 1.0 DAGLINGWORTH THE VILLAGE OF DAGLINGWORTH is located 21 km. (13 miles) south-east of Gloucester, and 4 km. (3 miles) north-west of the town of Cirencester, the parish of which it has bordered since the abolition of Stratton parish in 1935.1 Ermine Way, the Roman road connecting Cirencester with Gloucester, runs across the fields of the parish to the east of the village. The parish, which extends almost 4½ km. (3 miles ) across at its widest point, is bisected by the Daglingworth stream, along which the village stretches for almost 1 km. (⅔ mile), hidden from the surrounding countryside by a narrow valley. A handful of isolated farms and mansion houses, all modern, are scattered through the rest of the parish, which has retained its rural character to the present day. For most of its history the main economic activity of the parish has been sheep-and-corn agriculture, although the extraction of limestone has grown in importance since the opening of a large quarry on Daglingworth down in the 20th century. LANDSCAPE, SETTLEMENT AND BUILT CHARACTER BOUNDARIES AND PARISH ORIGINS Daglingworth was estimated to measure 1,811 a. in 1837, 1,884 a. in 1851, and 1,923 a. in 1891.2 Daglingworth was augmented in 1935 following the abolition of Stratton parish,3 and measured 2,163 a. in 1951.4 The boundaries of Daglingworth, shown on the tithe award map of 1839,5 were defined for the most part by field boundaries, indicated in places by banks or stones,6 but occasionally also followed topographical features such as roads or waterways.

  • Detection of Echinococcus Granulosus and Echinococcus Equinus in Dogs and Epidemiology of Canine Echinococcosis in the UK
    Detection of Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus equinus in Dogs and Epidemiology of Canine Echinococcosis in the UK WAI SAN LETT A thesis submitted for the partial requirement of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) University of Salford School of Environment and Life Sciences 2013 Abstract Echinococcus granulosus is a canid cestode species that causes hydatid disease or cystic echinococcosis (CE) in domestic animals or humans. Echinococcus equinus formerly recognised as the ‘horse strain’ (E.granulosus genotype G4) is not known to be zoonotic and predominantly involves equines as its intermediate host. The domestic dog is the main definitive host for both species, which are also both endemic in the UK but data is lacking especially for E.equinus. An E.equinus-specific PCR assay was designed to amplify a 299bp product within the ND2 gene and expressed 100% specificity against a panel of 14 other cestode species and showed detection sensitivity up to 48.8pg (approx. 6 eggs). Horse hydatid cyst isolates (n = 54) were obtained from 14 infected horse livers collected from an abattoir in Nantwich, Cheshire and hydatid cyst tissue was amplified using the ND2 PCR primers to confirm the presence of E.equinus and used to experimentally infect dogs in Tunisia from which serial post-infection faecal samples were collected for coproanalysis, and indicated Echinococcus coproantigen and E.equinus DNA was present in faeces by 7 and 10 days post infection, respectively. Canine echinococcosis due to E.granulosus appears to have re-emerged in South Powys (Wales) and in order to determine the prevalence of canine echinococcosis a coproantigen survey was undertaken.
