Abstract: |
An archaeological Observation took place at the Herefordshire Council Offices, Cider Mills, Plough Lane, Hereford. The site consisted of two areas, area A was bounded to the north by Plough Lane, the east by the Bulmers factory buildings, the south by residential housing, and to the west by a Shell garage. Area B was bounded to the north by Widemarsh Brook, the east by the Bulmers factory, the south by Yazor Brook, and the west by a property boundary fence. The grid reference for the centre of the site is NGR SO 50237 40459. The ground level to the north, south and east of the site is 56m OD, sloping up to 58m OD west of the site. Nine geotechnical test pits were archaeologically observed, those in Area B revealed evidence of 20th century garden soil deposits overlying natural terrace gravels. Area A revealed no archaeological deposits; with TP107 and TP108 showing modern levelling and makeup layers overlying natural gravel, and TP113 being abandoned after 0.60m. Natural was observed in this area at c. 54m OD. No significant archaeological deposits were observed. |
