Abstract:		 As part of the Roman Families Project, a project established by Herefordshire Council's archaeological service (Herefordshire Archaeology), in which members of the local community of Credenhill, Herefordshire's Armed Forces Community, Schools and Hereford Sixth Form College were invited to attend and contribute in the investigations. This project has been made possible by funding from the MOD Armed Forces Community Covenant Grant. The focus of these excavations and the supporting geophysical survey was the site of a previously unrecognised high status Roman farm/villa complex with activity dating to between the late first and fourth centuries AD. The excavation, which consisted of a single trench, uncovered the rubble remains of a stone and mortar structure dated to between the third and fourth centuries as well as a sample of the external enclosure ditch. The ditch showed evidence for two phases in use, the final phase being similar to that of the building itself. The earliest phase could not be dated however, although kiln debris, likely to originate from a kiln located within the sampled courtyard would suggest a first to second century AD date. The excavated kiln, its condition and location is unique in Herefordshire to date. The structure has been dated to c.140AD although its construction is most certainly earlier. The structure was accompanied by a flue to the east and a pit (possible waster's pit) to the northeast.
