  • Prehistory in the Cirencester Area
    VCH Glos. 16 – Pre-history Draft 1.0 Prehistory in the Cirencester area Timothy Darvill The Churn Valley and adjacent limestone uplands in the parishes considered in this volume were extensively if sparsely occupied during prehistoric times, with the scale and extent of settlement increasing considerably after about 700 BC. Archaeologically the area is extremely rich, but understanding these early communities draws on many different strands of evidence. Investigations by antiquarians working here from the eighteenth century onwards are important, and one of the earliest recorded excavations in Gloucestershire was by Anthony Freston at the Hoar Stone long barrow, Duntisbourne Abbots, in 1806.1 More recently, systematic surveys of upstanding monuments,2 fieldwalking,3 aerial photography,4 geophysical survey, excavation, and the scientific study of finds and materials each provide a wealth of complementary information. Ongoing research projects around Bagendon,5 and on Abbey Home Farm in Baunton and Preston parishes,6 contribute many insights. But the single most important contribution in recent years has come from commercial archaeology projects such as those connected with upgrading the A417/419,7 the expansion of Cirencester,8 and gravel extraction in the Cotswold Water Park.9 Overviews of archaeology in the area provide a wider context for the material discussed below.10 1 A. Freston, 'An account of a tumulus opened in an estate of Matthew Baillie MD, in the parish of Duntisbourne Abbots in Gloucestershire', Archaeologia 16 (1812), 361–2. 2 H. O’Neil & L. V.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Bagendon Draft 1.0
    VCH Gloucestershire: Volume XVI, Bagendon Draft 1.0 BAGENDON THE VILLAGE OF BAGENDON is situated 21 km. (13 miles) south-east of Gloucester and 5 km. (3 miles) north of Cirencester. The parish lies within the valley of the river Churn, which forms part of its eastern boundary, whilst the village lies across one of the river’s tributaries. Although the parish was the site of a significant prehistoric settlement, the ditches of which have divided Bagendon from the neighbouring estate of North Cerney since at least the 9th century, the medieval and modern village has never been populous. The construction of a turnpike between Cirencester and Cheltenham accelerated development along its course, spurring the fringe of Bagendon to acquire a suburban quality during the 20th century. Nevertheless, the abiding characteristic of the parish remains rural and agricultural, with only the ancient mill providing any significant industrial activity before recent times. LANDSCAPE, SETTLEMENT AND BUILT CHARACTER BOUNDARIES The parish measured 1,106 a. in 1792,1 and still in 1841, recalculated to 1,146 a. in 1891.2 The parish is long and narrow in shape, measuring almost 5 km. (c.3 miles) from north to south and 1½ km. (c.1 mile) across from east to west, although in places it contracts to less than 500 m. (c.546 yds) in width. The boundaries of the parish were depicted on the enclosure map of 1792,3 and for much of their length they follow clear topographical features such as roads and waterways. To the east and north, the boundary is defined by the river Churn, its tributary the Bagendon brook, a road running north from the brook to Woodmancote, and a lane running south-west to the brook.
