Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological evaluation was implemented, in advance of the conversion of six existing farm buildings and the construction of eleven new units, on land at St Marys Farm, Kingsland, Leominster, Herefordshire. The works were carried out in accordance with Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) agreed by the archaeological advisor to Herefordshire County Council and entailed the excavation of eight evaluation trenches over the area of the development footprint. The natural geology was identified in all trenches and appeared to change from silt clay toward the southwestern extreme of the site, to a more gravelly matrix, rising up slightly, across the remainder of the development area. The remains of a single undated small pit were identified in the south-eastern corner of Trench 1, in the south-western corner of the site, sealed by a layer of subsoil associated with garden deposits. No dateable artefacts were recovered from within the feature but it seems likely that it may have been associated with activities within the backplot or garden of the original farm building. Evidence of modern activity, associated with the former farm yard and its recently demolished buildings was present in all of the remaining trenches. |
