Tetbury
The origins of settlement on the site of Tetbury may lie in the possible Iron Age hillfort, the earthwork remains of which are situated on the southern edge of the town and are designated as a Scheduled Monument. This same site may then have been used as a Norman castle. Tetbury was a borough in the medieval period and retains its characteristic medieval plan with central market place; this historic core is now covered by the Conservation Area.
Recent evaluation of development sites on the northern edge of the town have identified prehistoric and Roman activity, and further evidence of these dates is likely to be present in the landscape surrounding the town.

5 Recent planning history
In 2011 this formed part of a larger area for which pre-application consultations prompted desk-based assessment (SW10558; HER39945), geophysical survey (SW11217; HER42568) and trial-trenching (SW11275; HER42718). Late Iron Age and early Roman activity was represented by three intercutting pits and a ditch. In addition several undated pits, gullies, post-settings and a possible cremation pit were found.
