The methodology of the construction of the sports pitches was designed to protect known archaeological features within the site. The watching brief was undertaken to monitor the groundworks for any archaeological deposits or features surviving at a higher level than anticipated and to ensure that the agreed methodology was adhered to. No features or deposits of archaeological interest were observed during groundworks. 4 Wheatpieces Phase 2, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Watching Brief © Cotswold Archaeology 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 In August and September 2007 Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological watching brief for J. S. Bloor (Tewkesbury) Ltd at Wheatpieces Phase 2, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire (centred on NGR: SO 9066 3113; Fig. 1). The watching brief was undertaken to fulfil a condition attached to planning consent for the development of a multi-use games area and playing field (Planning ref: 93/8613/1502/OUT). The methodology of the construction of the sports pitches was designed to protect known archaeological features within the site. The watching brief was undertaken to monitor the groundworks for any archaeological deposits or features surviving at a higher level than anticipated and to ensure that the agreed methodology was adhered to. 1.2 The watching brief was undertaken in accordance with a detailed Written Scheme of Investigation produced by CA (2007) and approved by Mr Charles Parry, Senior Archaeological Officer, Gloucestershire County Council (GCC), the archaeological advisors to the Local Planning Authority (LPA). The fieldwork also followed the Standard and Guidance for an Archaeological Watching Brief issued by the Institute of Field Archaeologists (2001), the Statement of Standards and Practices Appropriate for Archaeological Fieldwork in Gloucestershire (GCC 1996) and the Management of Archaeological Projects (English Heritage 1991). The site 1.3 The site measures approximately 3ha in area and comprises agricultural land located to the east of Rudgeway Lane. It is bounded to the north by the Rudgeway Fields residential development, to the east and south by agricultural land and to the west by Rudgeway Lane (Fig. 2). The site lies at approximately 18m AOD, with the land sloping gently downward to the east. 1.4 The underlying solid geology of the area is mapped as Lower Lias Clay of the Jurassic era (BGS 1988). The natural substrate was not exposed during the watching brief. 5 Wheatpieces Phase 2, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Watching Brief © Cotswold Archaeology Archaeological background 1.5 Archaeological interest in the site arises from a previous programme of archaeological work undertaken both within the proposed development area and the area immediately to the north in advance of the construction of the Rudgeway Fields residential development. The results of these works are summarised below. 1.6 Archaeological remains were initially identified during a fieldwalking survey (CAT 1993a); two evaluations (CAT 1993b and CA 2002) and a geophysical survey (Stratascan 2001). The fieldwalking survey recovered little artefactual material that pre-dated the post-medieval period, although a small number of pot-boilers of possible prehistoric date were distributed evenly across the site (CAT 1993a). The 1993 evaluation identified a substantial Middle Bronze Age ditch to the north of the site, interpreted as a territorial boundary (CA 1993b). 1.7 The geophysical survey was undertaken by Stratascan on behalf of CA (Stratascan 2001) and comprised a magnetometer survey of the proposed playing fields and southern part of the residential area to the north. The survey identified the presence of features consistent with prehistoric and Romano-British rural settlement. These results were confirmed during the 2002 evaluation (CA 2002). 1.8 A Data Review document (CA 2004) detailed the results of these works as well as providing the results of a further detailed magnetometer survey undertaken by Stratascan on behalf of CA (Stratascan 2004) on the remaining part of the proposed residential development to the north of the current site. 1.9 The most recent phase of archaeological work comprised excavation within the area of the proposed residential development to the north of the current site (now largely constructed as Rudgeway Fields). These excavations identified settlement, ritual and funerary activity dating to the Middle Bronze Age, Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age, Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon periods (CA 2006). 1.10 Within the area of the proposed sports pitches the results of the geophysical survey and evaluation, and of the excavation to the north, suggested that the features identified in this area may represent two phases of Iron Age activity, with a funerary or ritual site possibly being superseded by settlement. There may also be a continuation of Romano-British activity into this area (ibid.). 6 Wheatpieces Phase 2, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Watching Brief © Cotswold Archaeology Methodology 1.11 The fieldwork followed the methodology set out within the WSI (CA 2007). The methodology was designed to preserve the known archaeological remains in situ. The monitored groundworks involved the creation of two sports pitches, Sports Pitch 1 and Sports Pitch 2 (Fig. 2). Previous archaeological works had established that archaeological remains existed below the south-eastern part of Sports Pitch 1 at a depth of 170mm below the present ground level (bpgl) (Trenches 7 and 8). In order to preserve these deposits in situ the overlying topsoil was not stripped. Across the remainder of the site, where no archaeological remains were identified during the evaluation, or where the archaeological features were overlain by a greater depth of overburden (Trench 9), the topsoil was stripped to a maximum depth of 150mm bpgl. 1.12 Topsoil stripping was undertaken using tracked 360° machines equipped with toothless grading buckets. Stockpiled topsoil was moved using tracked 360° machines, tracked bulldozers and dumptrucks equipped with flotation tyres. No stripping or spoil movement was undertaken during inclement weather in order to prevent the development of wheel ruts. 1.13 The archaeological recording was undertaken in accordance with CA Technical Manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual (2007).

  • How a Piece of the Wall Ended up in Gloucester Page 10 COMARRC’S INTRODUCTION
    the Voice of Innsworth Station imjinAutumn 2019 West of berlin How a piece of the Wall ended up in Gloucester page 10 COMARRC’S INTRODUCTION Herewith the autumn edition of the imjin magazine. Returning from NATO service overseas, I was delighted to take the helm from General Tim Radford and plan to continue his work here. The focus in this edition is to celebrate our heritage with anniversaries stretching from the beaches of Normandy to the fall of the Berlin Wall. It is difficult not to be struck by the opportunities arising from service with the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps, Signals Brigade and those in Innsworth Station. Professionally we have an interesting, varied and suitably demanding training programme over the months ahead that will keep us sharp. The decision to make us the Corps Warfighting Headquarters for the next two years will drive our programme, the most immediate manifestation of which will be Exercise ‘ARRCADE FUSION’ in Cornwall this autumn. This will give purpose and, perhaps serendipitously, a degree of healthy specialisation. Concurrent experimentation is innovative and potentially transformational. Separately, the benefits are then relayed as training support from Estonia to Japan. It is an exciting prospect. On a more personal level, whether as an individual or family, opportunity abounds. The Cotswolds are on our doorstep and there is a wealth of opportunity in Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury, quite aside from the broader opportunities further afield in the United Kingdom. The ARRC International Club is well placed to help British and foreign families alike. We shall maintain an attractive series of trips to see the hardy perennials and more bespoke visits of specific interest.

The report has been broken down into the three JCS urban centres – land around Gloucester, land around Cheltenham and land around Tewkesbury. It also includes land around Bishop‟s Cleeve and though it is not considered that this settlement forms part of the urban area of Cheltenham, its proximity to Cheltenham has led to its wider exploration. The analysis comprised of two distinct areas of work: The first was a landscape characterisation process where the landscape around the settlements was surveyed and divided into distinct character areas. Each area was then described following the standard methodology described below. Once the landscape character had been spatially identified and then described, the second area of work - a sensitivity analysis followed. The objective of this work was to assign relative value as to the sensitivity of the landscape to large scale development, with the main output being the maps that show the various sensitivities for the specific areas. The intention is that these are used as one part of the process to identify development sites within the JCS area.

  • Operational Response Overview September 2015
    Operational Response Overview September 2015 Forward As an organisation the Service faces many challenges. The ever changing environment requires the Service to change in order to ensure it is able to secure an effective and efficient service for the community. Considerable steps forward over the past ten years have been taken making significant savings whilst continuing to maintain a high quality service and reduce the number of calls attended. Over the next three years the Integrated Risk Management Plan clearly states the tasks the Service has to undertake. Year one beginning with a fundamental review of operational response, development of risk based response targets and the development of a demand management service delivery model. To continue the journey the Service needs to fully focus upon reducing risk and thereby bringing down further the number of incidents it attends. The Service needs to ensure it keeps the community safer than ever before even though some tough decisions lie ahead. The Service needs to produce an integrated approach matching resources to risk within our county. In order for it to make recommendations and sound decisions clear and concise information and evidence is required, which is underpinned by a clear method for identifying and quantifying risks in our community. This operational response review will allow the Service to develop a response based on risk. A demand management model will be embedded, integrating both Protection and Prevention initiatives.

  • Iron Age and Romano-British, by Neil Holbrook
    EXCAVATIONS AT RUDGEWAY LANE, WALTON CARDIFF, NEAR TEWKESBURY, 2004-2005 Iron Age and Romano-British, by Neil Holbrook While the settlement at Rudgeway Lane bears many comparisons with Romano-British Sites I and 11 on the Eastern Relief Road, it does provide a number of fresh insights into the nature of later Iron Age and Romano-British rural settlement in this part of the Severn Valley. Preservation was better at this site than at the other two, and the recovery of insect fauna and human skeletal remains provides evidence not encountered there. The earliest activity detectable in Area D was the construction in Period 2 of a small ditched enclosure, c. 25m long by 20m wide, with a south-east facing entrance (Enclosure 1; Fig. 20). No evidence of any internal features was found. The small quantities of pottery recovered from the ditch are consistent with occupation at some point within the period from the 4th to 2nd century BC. This small enclosure invites comparison with similar-sized rectilinear examples at Beckford 11 and Evesham in Worcestershire, the latter also dating to the Middle Iron Age (Edwards and Hurst 2000; Moore 2006, 91-2). At these sites the enclosures appear to be one element within larger polyfocal unenclosed settlements, and this may also have been the case here, although no other Middle Iron Age features were found in the excavated areas. However it should be borne in mind that mass-built houses which did not possess drip gullies can be virtually invisible to detect through geophysical survey or indeed excavation (Holbrook 2003, 63).
