Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land adjacent to Roman Road, Stretton Sugwas, Herefordshire (NGR SO 465 424). It was undertaken on behalf of Halcrow Group Ltd who are acting on behalf of Herefordshire Council, who propose road improvements comprising the widening of the existing A4103 Roman Road between Stretton Sugwas (SO 465 424) and the junction of Tillington Road (SO 488 423). The site will be the location of a new roundabout just to the east of Stretton Sugwas where the A4103 will join the A480. The present A4103 is thought to overlie a stretch of the original Roman road that once linked the Roman towns of Stretton Grandison and Kenchester, 17km to the east and 2km to the west of Stretton Sugwas respectively. The road is thought to have been built in the Conquest period of the 1st century AD and gone into decline by the 3rd century AD. An earlier archaeological evaluation (HSM 32103, HSM 32104), carried out in the summer of 2002, identified archaeological remains to the north of the present site and along the length of the road. The Archaeological Advisor for Herefordshire Council considers that the present site may be of archaeological interest. The results of this evaluation reflect the findings of previous work (HSM 32103, HSM 32104) and clearly indicate a relatively dense level of Romano-British activity on the site. A total of five evaluation trenches were excavated revealing a range of features including a well preserved metalled 'track', several associated ditches, field boundaries and lesser cut features (such as post holes). In addition a small assemblage of Romano-British pottery was recovered from both stratified and un-stratified contexts across the site; the paucity of the assemblage indicates that there is no associated domestic activity within the immediate vicinity of the site.
