The site was very constrained in terms of where trenches could be located by the presence of numerous services. These included overhead power cables, a buried power cable, drainage pipes and a water pipe. Consequently, the area proposed for the footprint of the new residential building could not be examined, and with the exception of Trench 1, located within the northeast of the site, the remainder of the trenches were clustered on the central southern part of the site. Trench 1 was moved to the north following the discovery of the buried electric cable. Trench 5 was reduced in size so as not to impact the current hard standing for Ewen Spring's parking area. The trenches were located using a GPS with sub 5mm accuracy. Trench locations were CAT scanned prior to a during machine reduction. All machine excavation was undertaken under close archaeological supervision in even spits until the first archaeological horizon, or natural geology was reached. All revealed archaeological features were hand excavated and recorded as per the methodology set out in the approved WSI (OA 2023). The exception to this was pit 404 in Trench 4, which was located 1m below current ground level, and the trench was too deep to safely enter. Following a site monitoring visit by Rachel Foster of GCCAS the trenches were backfilled with the arisings in reverse order of excavation Mitigation excavation & watching brief Archaeological attendance was maintained on site during all activities which had the potential to impact on buried archaeological deposits and features. This comprised the excavation for an electric cable diversion trench; foundation trenches for the new cottages; ground reduction for the base of new garages and installation of drainage trenches . All features were recorded in plan with a GPS and section drawings made at 1:20. A photographic record was maintained of all archaeological features and the works in general. During January 2024 Oxford Archaeology carried out a trial trench evaluation at Ewen Springs, Ewen, Kemble, Gloucestershire. Two features, a posthole and probable pit were sealed by subsoil and contained Roman tile. These features relate to a wider settlement in the vicinity recorded from crop marks and finds recovery. A stone wall foundation corresponded well with a building identified by a previous ground-penetrating radar survey and is likely to represent part of the lost Ewen Chapel first mentioned in a document of 12th century date. The chapel foundations had been cut into the subsoil layer which sealed the features of Roman date. The subsoil layer was sealed by a further soil layer containing numerous fragments of limestone which likely relates to the chapel's demolition in the post-medieval period, and this deposit is deepest in the vicinity of the chapel. Roman, medieval, and post-medieval finds were recovered from this deposit Phase 2 mitigation Between November 2024 and March 2025 an archaeological monitoring and recording action was conducted during groundworks for the construction of new residential buildings at Ewen Spring, Ewen, Cirencester, which previous geophysical survey and trial-trench evaluation had indicated was the location of the medieval Ewen Chapel. The results helped define the location of the chapel and the extent of the associated demolition spread. Pottery recovered from the demolition spread and a possible robber trench associated with the chapel dated from 1550-1770 and provides a broad date for the chapel's demolition. A postmedieval boundary shown on 19th century Ordnance Survey maps was also revealed. The development had a minimal impact on the chapel site, with services designed to bypass it, and it remains preserved in situ under the ground slab of the new garage buildings
