Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological recording was undertaken at the request of Cotswold Archaeology on behalf of Crest Nicholson on land north of Roman Road, Holmer, Hereford (NGR SO 5135 4225) who intend to develop the site for residential use. The depth of topsoil and subsoil deposits was found to be variable across the site, from 0.27m to 1m below the ground surface. No significant archaeological structures or features were found and the residual finds assemblage comprised largely post-medieval and modern debris along with a few sherds of medieval pottery and a gold half sovereign of 1896. There was no evidence for Roman roadside activity, for the continuation of the medieval settlement of Holmer to the north-west, or of ridge and furrow agricultural activity. |
