The Roman Tilery at St Oswald's Priory, Gloucester

Abstract

The site, which was in medieval times the precinct of St Oswald's Priory, is close to a now-vanished channel of the River Severn, on which, a little to the south, was the Roman quay (FIG. I). The site is outside the NW corner of the Roman colonia of Glevum. It was excavated in 1975-6 in advance of re-development, with the aid of a grant from the Department of the Environment. Building plans were cancelled in 1976 and the site ceased to qualify for ‘rescue’ grants. Only limited archaeological work was therefore done on the Roman levels, which are still available for future research.
