Abstract: |
Herefordshire Archaeology undertook an archaeological field evaluation that was carried out in June/July 2008 prior to clear felling and extraction of a mature conifer plantation within the northern half of the interior of Credenhill Fort, Credenhill, Herefordshire. Archaeological features and deposits were recorded in three out of four trenches excavated. In two cases these appear to be beam slots possibly associated with Roman military buildings. The only artefacts recovered were two small fragments of Iron Age pottery though these are likely to be residual. Evidence of ploughing, probably during the Medieval period, was also apparent. The results were used to agree a methodology for monitoring timber felling and extraction from the site. |
