Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation and watching brief was undertaken for the Hereford Southern Link Road (NGR SO 4900 3680). It was undertaken on behalf of Herefordshire Council and their agent Parsons Brinckerhoff, who intend to construct a new section of road to connect the A49 and the A465. Geotechnical trial pits were also monitored following the evaluation. Only natural deposits were observed during this stage of works. One area of significance was identified. Here at least one feature of early to middle Iron Age date had been identified and it was considered very likely that other features would be broadly contemporary. The site was dated through the few sherds of pottery present and it included evidence of metalworking from a pit containing smithing slag and a hearth bottom. The available artefacts suggested a short-lived period of activity for the site.
