Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land at the corner of Attwood Lane and Roman Road, Holmer, Hereford (NGR: SO 5135 4225), on behalf of Crest Nicholson. Twelve evaluation trenches were excavated across two fields within the proposed development site. The natural matrix was observed directly below the overburden of topsoil and subsoil. A number of tree bowls were noted in both fields. Otherwise no archaeological features, structures, layers or horizons were recorded, and residual finds were minimal. Thus there was neither evidence for Roman occupation activity adjacent to the Roman Road, nor any indication that the medieval village of Holmer extended this far south-east of the present settlement focus. The very compact nature of the subsoils and lack of residual material suggests minimal modern ploughing and there was no evidence of ridge and furrow as has been recorded to the north-east. The fields were probably kept largely as pasture, prior to the planting of orchards within two, in the post-medieval period.
