Abstract: |
<summary>Salvage recording, sponsored by Redland Aggregates, was again carried out at this quarry in advance of gravel extraction. Of particular interest was a Bronze Age pit found close to the ring-ditches identified in 1989. This contained quantities of burnt bone, pottery and flint - a unique assemblage for this area of Herefordshire. A single Roman pit was identified (a farmstead is known to lie in the core area of the quarry). Three medieval ovens and a number of associated features were identified, containing assemblages of well-preserved plant remains. One of the ovens was backfilled with quantities of pottery from the 12th-15th centuries. Close to the Wellington Brook a series of post-medieval structures were excavated, representing a revetted cobbled slipway, perhaps an approach to a ford. {italon}Sec(21c){italoff} (amended) {italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} HWCM5522 |
