Abstract:		 An excavation and archaeological monitoring was carried out between late 2003 and early 2004 at a site in Bromyard, Herefordshire during construction of a new housing development. The site encroached upon an early 18th century Quaker burial ground to the rear of 16 Broad Street. At the end of the 19th century a tannery occupied the site and it was most recently used as a car-park. The greater part of the excavation was concerned with the Quaker burial ground. A total of fifteen graves were recorded with twelve orientated east-west and three north-south. Eleven of the twelve east-west graves were excavated. Most of the skeletons were buried in a supine position. Of these eleven graves seven showed remains of coffins which were identified by faint beige stains, iron nails and iron or copper alloy coffin handles. The north-south graves were north of the excavation area and were left in situ. Two were investigated, establishing that stratigraphically they were of a later date than the east-west graves they inter-cut. Only one of these north-south graves had evidence of a coffin. Outside the burial ground the archaeological monitoring of ground works recorded features associated with the 19th century tannery. Wooden dye pits, a brick-lined oval pit and walls of former buildings associated with the tannery were exposed by ground works. Two stone culverts were also located.
