  • Two Prehistoric Enclosures at the Beeches Playing Field, London Road, Cirencester, Gloucestershire
    Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 130 (2012), 31–61 Two Prehistoric Enclosures at The Beeches Playing Field, London Road, Cirencester, Gloucestershire By DONNA E.Y. YOUNg and JONAtHAN G.P. ErSKINe1 With contributions by ElAINe MOrrIS, Peter MAKey, ANdrew ClArKe and KAtH HUNter Publication drawings were prepared by Lynn Hume from originals by Davina Ware and Vicky Patrick INtrOdUctION The excavation at The Beeches, carried out in the summer of 1999 in advance of residential development by Bryant Homes (South West) Limited, followed a staged programme of geophysical survey, desk-based study and trial excavation (Erskine 1995b and 1997). The site covers a former playing field on the outskirts of Cirencester, c. 1 km to the east of the city centre (Fig. 1), now Pheasant Way and North Home Way. The project was designed to record fully archaeological deposits previously located, centred at SP 037022, indicating a significant multi-period prehistoric site with episodes of occupation during the Middle Bronze-Age and Early Iron-Age periods and provided secure dating evidence for crop marks first investigated in the 1970s (Reece 1990). Evidence of three periods (six phases) of archaeological activity, from the prehistoric to the modern era, was identified. Four phases in Period I related to prehistoric activity. Throughout the site, the features had been truncated by subsequent ploughing and modern levelling (Fig. 2). The Prehistoric Activity: Period I Phase I.1: Mesolithic [c. 10000–4000 BC] A small, but significant assemblage of Mesolithic flints, including scrapers, retouched flakes, a bladelet and an obliquely blunted point, comprising c. 12% of the total flint assemblage (The Flints, below), was recovered, largely from Area A (Fig.

  • Introduction
    DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire [Cirencester] © University of London, 2017 Cirencester 1540 to 1945, all to July 2017 INTRODUCTION THE EFFECTS OF THE DISSOLUTION The manor of Cirencester passed from the abbey into the hands of the crown on 19 December 1539.1 The dissolution led to the dispersal of the abbey’s authority and its physical fabric amongst local notables. The buildings were divided into those considered superfluous, such as the church and chapels, and those preserved as potentially useful for a new tenant, including the abbot’s residence and baking, brewing and malting houses.2 Henry VIII’s commissioners were required to ensure that conventual buildings were pulled down to remove signs of the monastic way of life.3 However, it is doubtful that the dissolution of the abbey had any great effect on the pattern of development of Cirencester as a whole, with the estate passing into the hands of the Master family.4 Following the dissolution of the abbey, custodianship of the manor house and grounds of the abbey was granted to Richard Basing, a wine merchant, inadvertently leading to his imprisonment in Seville.5 The crown retained the use of the roof lead, steeple and other fixtures and fittings of the church which had been removed and melted down by 1541, as well as the abbot’s former residence.6 The total amount of lead eventually gathered by the crown was estimated at 123 fothers (a cartload, equivalent to c. 1 tonne).7 The steeple and surplus houses of the abbey were sold to Sir Anthony Hungerford and Robert Strange, Hungerford’s relation by marriage and bailiff to the late abbot.
