The ancient monument east of St Mary's Church in Gloucestershire comprises archaeological remains spanning multiple periods of occupation and use. The site contains Roman burials, indicating its use as an extramural cemetery during the Romano-British period, alongside medieval settlement remains that attest to continued habitation or activity during the medieval centuries. A later ditched enclosure, dating to the post-medieval period, overlies these earlier deposits and represents a phase of land division and management. Together, these stratified archaeological layers document successive phases of settlement and land use at this location from the Roman period through to the early modern era.
