Abstract:		 Border Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a programme of limited archaeological excavation in advance of the construction of a proposed dwelling on the site adjacent to the former 'Red Lion' Hotel in Weobley. The site lies in the historic core of the Archaeologically Important Urban Area of Weobley, some 80m S of the church of St Peter and St Paul. The results of the excavation demonstrated that considerable disturbance of the site had taken place in the later post-medieval and modern periods, largely, but not entirely, associated with the construction of a W/E aligned access from Church Road to the 'Red Lion' Hotel. A stone-lined well (111) on the E side of the site may have been of some antiquity, as no brick was visible in its construction, but had remained in use until comparatively recently, with a pump mechanism still in place, sealed by the former access to the hotel. The only potentially early feature on the site was a small area of burnt natural clay. However, no finds were recovered from it and truncation from the modern access had destroyed stratigraphic relationships meaning that it was not possible to establish its date. Although it is possible that further archaeological deposits were originally present but had been truncated in recent times, a lack of early residual pottery may indicate that the pre-Conquest market place was maintained as an open area, as suggested by Wichbold (1995).
