Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological evaluation of land at Moreton Business Park, Moreton-on-Lugg, Herefordshire (centred on NGR SO 5050 4832) was undertaken by Birmingham Archaeology in October 2005 on behalf of GreatWest 2003 Ltd. The work was carried out as a condition of planning consent for the development of the site, which was formerly part of a military base. A preliminary programme of test-pitting and deposit modelling within the site, carried out by Worcestershire Archaeological Service, revealed extensive alluvial deposits and indicated archaeological features and deposits may be present. Seventeen trial- trenches were excavated and in two of the trenches potentially significant archaeological features were revealed. At the western part of the site two parallel shallow linear ditches were recorded, one of which contained three abraded sherds of Romano-British pottery. Close to the northern limit of the site, a shallow linear ditch was recorded containing a partial semi-articulated horse skeleton, the size of which was consistent with an animal dating to the Iron Age or Romano-British periods. The evidence suggests that all these features could date to the Romano-British period or perhaps earlier. The precise function of the features is unclear, although it seems possible that the ditches could be associated with drainage and/ or agricultural activities. Similar features have been recorded in investigations to the north of the site and at the nearby Wellington Quarry.
