16 St Peter's Road, Cirencester, Gloucestershire.

All groundworks that had the potential to impact upon archaeological deposits were undertaken whilst under the constant observation of an archaeologist. Where machine excavation was required, this was used only for the removal of non-significant overburden. Plant comprised a tracked 360� mini-digger, which was mostly equipped with a toothless grading bucket; although, it was necessary to utilise a toothed bucket, where Modern rubble deposits/footings were present. The watching brief identified the presence probable Victorian/Modern made ground or in-fill, to a depth of up to 0.75m (108.87m aOD) below the Modern ground surface. No archaeological features or finds were present within the monitored area. However, it should be noted that the groundworks did not reveal the entire extent of stratified deposits. The excavation revealed the foundations of the rear of the property, the lower parts of which consisted of regularly shaped limestone blocks. It is possible, although not proven, that these stones were re-used Roman building materials
