Abstract:		 Archaeological observation of the Ledbury Trunk Main (Town) Refurbishment Scheme in Herefordshire was carried out between January 15th 2008 and April 4th 2008, excavations occurring intermittently during this period. The observed section of pipeline refurbishment ran through the historic medieval core of Ledbury, along the main axis of the town between High Street and The Homend. Large quantities of building debris were noted at the north end of High Street, probably representing the demolition of Butchers Row, a series of 15 burgage houses and shops dating form the 16th century and later, which ran along the west side of High Street and which were demolished between 1820 and 1840. A possible pit and associated layer of building rubble observed in Orchard Lane probably derived from more recent activity relating to the demolition of mid to late 19th century buildings in the vicinity of the modern supermarket car park and a probable medieval or early post-medieval large iron nail or spike used for structural or decorative purposes was found during the excavation of a pit opposite No 76 High Street. Most pits revealed evidence of previous utility groundworks and road construction activity. Significantly, however, the archaeological observation confirmed that no archaeology was damaged or disturbed during the programme of works without being recorded.
