1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 In November 2017 Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological evaluation for Carver Knowles at land to the rear of Ebrington Arms, Ebrington, Gloucestershire (centred at NGR: 418520 239933; Fig. 1). The evaluation was undertaken to accompany a planning application which will be made to Cotswold District Council (CDC) for construction of a residential development and car park at the site.

1.2 The evaluation was carried out in accordance with a recommendation by Charles Parry, Archaeologist, Gloucestershire County Council (GCC), archaeological advisor to CDC, for archaeological evaluation and with a subsequent detailed Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) produced by CA (2017) and approved by Charles Parry. The fieldwork also followed Standard and guidance: Archaeological field evaluation (CIfA 2014).

The site 1.3 The site is approximately 0.58ha in extent, whilst the built development area is approximately 0.234ha in extent. The area of proposed built development comprises the western half of a single pasture field which lies at approximately 145m AOD and slopes up gently towards the north. No development is proposed in the eastern half of site, which will remain as pasture. The site is bounded to the north by residential properties, to the east by a pasture field, to the south by a farm track and to the west by May Lane.

1.4 The underlying bedrock geology of the area is mapped as Dyrham Formation – interbedded siltstone and mudstone of the Jurassic period. No information is recorded concerning the superficial geology (BGS 2017). Clay and mudstone was identified during the evaluation.

2. ARCHAEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND

2.1 An archaeological evaluation undertaken in 2002 on Home Farm, approximately 60m to the south of the current site identified a ‘v’-shaped gully and a pit of likely prehistoric date (GCC Historic Environment Record (HER) no. 21515). A later

3 © Cotswold Archaeology Land to the Rear of Ebrington Arms, Ebrington, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Evaluation

watching brief on the same site recovered three worked flint flakes and a sherd of possible Early Bronze Age pottery (ibid).

2.2 There is extensive evidence for Roman settlement in and around the village of Ebrington. The site of a Roman villa, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM 1003431), lies approximately 250m to the east of the current site. This was subject to a small excavation in 1958-9 which identified mosaic floors, evidence of under floor heating, a plunge bath faced with white marble, painted plaster and walls clearly extending to the north-west and south-west of the excavated area (GCC HER no. 368).

2.3 Excavations during the restoration of Harrowby House, approximately 150m to the north-west of the current site, uncovered Roman stone walls, hearths, slots, post holes and ditches, one of which measured 3.6m wide and 2.6m deep (GCC HER no. 4937).

2.4 Evaluation and watching brief work undertaken at 1, New Road, 50m to the north- east of the villa site, in 1996 and 1998 respectively, uncovered substantial quantities of Roman brick and tile residual within medieval plough soils, suggesting demolition rubble from the adjacent villa had been imported to infill natural hollows (GCC HER no. 17263).

2.5 The evaluation and watching brief undertaken at Home Farm discussed in Section 2.1 above also identified a ditch containing slag and a sherd of Roman pottery and a rectangular clay lined pit of probable Roman date (GCC HER 21515).

2.6 Anglo-Saxon remains revealed in the village include a cemetery located to the north of Elm Grove, approximately 500m to the north-east of the current site. This contained at least 68 burials, some of which included grave goods (HEC 2009).

2.7 The church of St. Eadburga, 175m to the north-west of the site, has origins dating back to at least the 13th century (GCC HER 43071).

2.8 The 1884 Ordnance Survey map depicts the site as an orchard, whilst the 1972 Ordnance Survey map shows an agricultural field with glasshouses in the north- western corner.

3. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

3.1 The objectives of the evaluation are to provide information about the archaeological resource within the site, including its presence/absence, character, extent, date, integrity, state of preservation and quality, in accordance Standard and guidance: Archaeological field evaluation (CIfA 2014). This information will enable Cotswold District Council to identify and assess the particular significance of any heritage asset, consider the impact of the proposed development upon it, and to avoid or minimise conflict between the heritage asset’s conservation and any aspect of the development proposal, in line with the National Planning Policy Framework (DCLG 2012).

4. METHODOLOGY

4.1 The fieldwork comprised the excavation of three trenches measuring between 20- 26m in length and were targeted within the footprint of the proposed built development area (Fig. 2), with the approval of Charles Parry. Trenches were set out on OS National Grid (NGR) co-ordinates using Leica GPS and surveyed in accordance with CA Technical Manual 4 Survey Manual.

4.2 All trenches were excavated by mechanical excavator equipped with a toothless grading bucket. All machine excavation was undertaken under constant archaeological supervision to the top of the first significant archaeological horizon or the natural substrate, whichever was encountered first. Where archaeological deposits were encountered they were excavated by hand in accordance with CA Technical Manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual.

4.3 Deposits were assessed for their palaeoenvironmental potential in accordance with CA Technical Manual 2: The Taking and Processing of Environmental and Other Samples from Archaeological Sites. A single sample was taken and it is currently held at Cotswold Archaeology’s office in Kemble. All artefacts recovered were processed in accordance with Technical Manual 3 Treatment of Finds Immediately after Excavation.

4.4 The archive and artefacts from the evaluation are currently held by CA at their offices in Kemble. Subject to the agreement of the legal landowner the artefacts will be deposited with Corinium Museum, along with the site archive. A summary of

information from this project, set out within Appendix C, will be entered onto the OASIS online database of archaeological projects in Britain.

5. RESULTS (FIGS 2-5)

5.1 This section provides an overview of the evaluation results; detailed summaries of the recorded contexts and finds are to be found in Appendices A, B and C respectively.

5.2 Natural geological substrate, consisting of light orange and orange-brown silt clay and mudstone, was identified at approximately 0.5m below the present ground level (bpgl). It was sealed by approximately 0.2m of subsoil that was, in turn, overlain by approximately 0.3m of modern topsoil.

5.3 Post-medieval furrows, aligned east/west, were identified in all trenches. Late 18th to 19th-century pottery was recovered from furrow 203 and 18th to 19th-century pottery was recovered from furrow 205. A probable headland, aligned north/south, was identified in Trench 1. Modern drains were identified in Trench 2 (Drain 207) and Trench 3 (Drains 304 (Fig. 5) and 307). All furrows and drains cut subsoil.

5.4 Furrow 107 was cut by feature 111 (Fig. 4) that was partially exposed in plan with gentle sides and flat base. It measured 6.08m in length, at least 1.8m in width, 0.15m in depth and contained silty clay fill 112 which remained undated. It was cut by construction cut 109 (Fig. 4) that was aligned north-east/south-west and measured at least 1.6m in length, 0.82m in width and 0.1m in depth. This contained pitched stone wall footing 110 constructed from unhewn limestone rubble. It was sealed by made-ground 113.

5.5 Ditch 105 (Fig. 3, section AA) was aligned approximately north-east/south-west with regular sides and concave base. It measured at least 1.6m in length, 0.89m in width, 0.27m in depth and contained silty clay fill 106 which remained undated. It was sealed by subsoil.

6. THE FINDS

6.1 Artefactual material was hand-recovered from eight deposits (fills of construction cuts, furrows and a culvert, as well as subsoil and topsoil). The recovered material dates to the prehistoric, Roman, medieval and post-medieval/modern periods. Quantities of the artefact types recorded are given in Appendix B. The pottery has been recorded according to sherd count/weight per fabric. Pottery fabric codes, in parenthesis in the text, are equated to the Gloucester type series (Vince unpublished). Where applicable, National Roman Fabric Reference Collection codes are also given in Appendix B (Tomber and Dore 1998).

Pottery: Roman 6.2 An unfeatured bodysherd (21g) of Severn Valley oxidised ware (TF11b), of broad Romano-British date, was retrieved from fill 108 of furrow 107.

Medieval 6.3 Pottery of medieval date is represented by two unfeatured bodysherds (8g) of Worcester sandy coarseware (TF91), dateable to the mid 13th to mid 14th centuries.

Post-medieval/modern 6.4 Pottery from this date range totals 32 sherds (667g). Three sherds of Creamware (TF69) are dateable to the mid to late 18th century and three sherds of Pearlware (TF71) to the late 18th to mid 19th century. Of 18th to 19th century date are black- glazed earthenware and brown-glazed earthenware (both TF50). More modern pottery consists of refined whiteware (TF71, late 18th to 19th century) and unglazed earthenware of ‘flowerpot’ type (TF63, 19th to 20th centuries).

Lithics 6.5 A flint flake was recovered as a residual find in fill 108 of furrow 107.

Ceramic building material 6.6 Two fragments of post-medieval ceramic building material were recorded. The fragment from topsoil 100 derives from a brick and that from fill 104 of furrow 103 is too fragmentary for classification.

7 © Cotswold Archaeology Land to the Rear of Ebrington Arms, Ebrington, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Evaluation

Other finds 6.7 A copper alloy Roman coin, from topsoil 300, is a minim copy which dates to the 4th century.

6.8 Two objects of lead were recorded. The example from topsoil 100 is a perforated disc – the purpose is unknown. That from topsoil 300 is a token of uncertain date.

7. THE BIOLOGICAL EVIDENCE

7.1 Two fragments of animal bone (55g) were recovered from fill 108 of furrow 107. The material was well-preserved but only one of the bones was identifiable to species, a partial astragalus of a horse (Equus callabus). No cut or chop marks linked to butchery practice were present and due to the low recovery, it is not possible to make any useful inference beyond species identification.

8. DISCUSSION

8.1 The furrows identified likely date to the late 18th to early 19th century, after which the site is recorded as an orchard on the 1884 Ordnance Survey map. Pottery recovered from furrows 203 and 205 also suggests a late 18th early 19th-century date.

8.2 Wall footing 110, cut 111, and drains 207, 304 and 307, have been interpreted as being associated with a modern glasshouse first depicted on the Ordnance Survey map of 1972 (Fig. 3). It should be noted that wall footing 110 is located immediately to the south of the location of the glasshouses recorded on the Ordnance Survey map. It is also on a very slightly different alignment and may be related to a former boundary, although is thought to be related to the glasshouse given it is stratigraphic later than the furrows.

8.3 An undated ditch (105) was the only feature identified during the evaluation that may pre-date the post-medieval period. As it had a different alignment to the post- medieval furrows and was sealed by the subsoil it is likely not to be contemporary with the furrows.
