Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Rotherwas Industrial Estate, Rotherwas, Herefordshire (NGR SO 53322 37589). It was commissioned by Archaeology and Planning Solutions on behalf of their client Sol Environment, who intend to construct a power plant on this site, for which a planning application will be submitted to Herefordshire County Council. Eight trenches were excavated across the proposed development area. Of most interest was a small pit of probable prehistoric date. In the base of the pit were a number of stake holes, suggesting there had been some form of superstructure, although the original function of the pit could not be established. After use the pit had been filled with hot fire debris containing frequent charcoal lumps and fired clay fragments. Although only one pit was identified it suggests that the prehistoric activity seen at the adjacent Rotherwas Futures site may extend outside the limits of that excavation into the proposed development site. The only other features identified during the evaluation are of agricultural origin and are of medieval to post-medieval date. They include a small area of terracing on the north side of Dinedor Hill and a number of field boundary and drainage ditches. A single French drain was also identified.
