Abstract: |
An archaeological earthworks survey, watching brief and evaluation were undertaken at land off Hampton Dene Road, Hereford, Herefordshire (NGR SO 53458 40021; HER ref EHE 80239). The project was undertaken on behalf of The Environmental Dimension Partnership for their client Barrett West Midlands who intend to develop the land for housing, for which a planning application has been granted. The 4.7ha site has been largely agricultural land since the medieval period until the present day, although during the 19th century the northern end of the site was occupied by the landscaped garden of Hampton Dene House, from which limited earthworks still remain. The evaluation revealed two post-medieval field boundary ditches, which may have been maintained for several hundred years, and a possible 19th century footpath or small trackway. The finds assemblage is indicative of domestic activity, derived from settlement away from the site, and is typical of medieval and post-medieval rural settlements, comprising mostly domestic earthenwares and, from the mid-18th century, stonewares. These results demonstrate that, beyond reasonable doubt, there is no very significant archaeological heritage asset within the site. |
