McSloy), and Romano-British Agriculture at the former St James's Railway Station, Cheltenham: Excavations in 2000-2001 (by Laurent Coleman and Martin Watts). Significant remains from Rudgeway Lane include two Middle Bronze Age parallel ditches (the remains of an enclosure, or possibly a long barrow), and a Middle Iron Age enclosure superseded by 1st century AD unenclosed settlement, that was in turn replaced by a 2nd to late 3rd-century AD enclosed rectilinear settlement featuring a roundhouse, a well, several burials and an associated trackway. Two 6th-century burials, one with grave goods, were later made within the abandoned farmstead. At the St James's site in Cheltenham, excavation revealed a field system that was used and developed throughout the Roman period, together with a number of pits and postholes, with two late 4th century AD burials.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49568825671953,"sku":"GOR006515213","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49613076005137,"sku":"GOR013697565","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52608544604433,"sku":"NGR9780955353437","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0955353432.jpg?v=1751077890"},{"product_id":"prehistoric-and-medieval-occupation-at-moreton-in-marsh-and-bishop-s-cleeve-glou-book-martin-watts-9780955353413","title":"Prehistoric and Medieval Occupation at Moreton-in-Marsh and Bishop's Cleeve, Gloucestershire","description":"Two reports are published in this volume: excavations in 2003  at Blenheim Farm, Moreton-in-Marsh (by Jonathan Hart and Mary  Alexander) and excavations in 2004 at 21 Church Road, Bishop's  Cleeve (by Kate Cullen and Annette Hancocks).

Radiocarbon dating demonstrates that the alluvium had been deposited by the 12th century BC. Three or four Middle Bronze Age cremation burials were probably part of a flat cemetery, the site subsequently occupied by a Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age settlement which contained in excess of four post-built roundhouses. In the 1st century AD a settlement that contained a number of probable mass-walled roundhouses was constructed. It was extensively reorganised in the early 2nd century when a series of ditched enclosures were linked to Ermin Street by a 320m-long trackway. A small cemetery of 12 inhumations is noteworthy as it demonstrates that the Late Iron Age tradition of burial by crouched inhumation persisted into the 2nd century AD. Several of the burials were accompanied by grave goods, and one of the males suffered from a very rare form of dwarfism to his forearms, a condition that would have been obvious to his contemporaries. The settlement continued in use until the late 3rd or early 4th century, although the trackway ditches continued to accumulate material into the later 4th century. The trackway and enclosures appear to have survived as visible earthworks into the medieval period as their orientation influenced the alignment of medieval field systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52580958404881,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52580958699793,"sku":"NGR9780952319672","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780952319672.jpg?v=1761001968"},{"product_id":"romano-british-and-medieval-settlement-site-at-stoke-road-bishop-s-cleeve-glouce-book-dawn-enright-9780952319665","title":"A Romano-British and Medieval Settlement Site at Stoke Road, Bishop's Cleeve, Gloucestershire","description":"\u003cp\u003eExcavations at Stoke Road, Bishop's Cleeve in 1997 revealed Romano-British agricultural enclosures, evidence of small-scale ironworking, possible structures and a small burial plQt, dating from the 3rd century AD to the last quarter of the 4th century AD. A small post-built structure, probably a temporary shelter or windbreak, was dated by a single sherd of grass-tempere~ pottery to the Saxon period between the 7th and 9th centuries AD.

Four programmes of archaeological investigation were undertaken during this period by both Cotswold Archaeology and Headland Archaeology. The four main investigation areas were located in close proximity to one another, with in some cases coterminous boundaries, situated towards the north of a wider area of land to the east of Lydney that had been subject to preliminary archaeological investigations. The archaeological results from the investigations evidently related to a densely occupied archaeological landscape, with evidence for activity dating from the prehistoric through to the post-medieval and modern periods.        Post-excavation analysis was undertaken for each of the four phases of archaeological excavation individually, and standalone archive reports are available for the individual investigations. However, given the closely interrelated archaeology identified in the individual excavation areas, the decision was made to publish summary results of the investigations collectively in a single volume, to facilitate easier access to the interconnected results.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53031348011281,"sku":"NGR9781917215039","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781917215039.jpg?v=1768607104"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/bristol-and-gloucestershire-archaeological-report-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
