Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological monitoring was carried out during works involving the widening of the A49 Southbound to create a third lane at the junction of the Newmarket Street roundabout. Associated work on new traffi c signals and drainage was also monitored. The works area included part of Hereford's medieval defences, and was within the Hereford Area of Archaeological Importance. No evidence of any historic activity earlier than the Victorian period was observed; a direct result of the limited depth of the works required in relation to the overall depth of modern deposits within the vicinity of the roundabout. The works may have encountered the top of an intact soil horizon at a depth of 500mm below the roundabout carriageway. |
