This report presents the results of archaeological investigations
along the 17km-long Gloucester Security of Supply Water Pipeline in
the vicinity of Tewkesbury. The archaeological mitigation works
were commissioned by Severn Trent Water; following evaluation of
the whole route, three sites were chosen for excavation, at
Fiddington and Pamington in Gloucestershire and at Bredon's Norton
in Worcestershire. The site at Pamington revealed oval enclosures
of mid-late Iron Age date, that at Fiddington elements of a rural
settlement spanning all of the Roman period. At Bredon's Norton the
pipeline cut through a series of Iron Age and Roman settlement
enclosures and their internal features, and also included human
burials of both periods. Unusually, one Iron Age burial was
accompanied by a saw, and among the Roman burials was a cemetery of
seven newborn infants. An unexpected discovery was the remains of a
Roman bath-house with a plunge pool flagged with stones and
decorated with painted wall-plaster. This was later drained and had
a central cistern inserted, while the loft was used to store grain.
The building was destroyed by fire at the very end of the Roman
period, resulting in the exceptional preservation of charred grain,
together with fragmentary timbers, on the floor.
