Abstract: |
The excavation carried out within St Katherine's car park, south of the Master's House Ledbury, as part of the planning process for the proposed construction of a new Library. The excavation formed part of a project already underway in Ledbury run by Herefordshire Archaeology and members of The England's Past for Everyone, Herefordshire project (Victoria County History), which was investigating the growth of the medieval core of the town (N Baker, forthcoming). The excavation was supervised and directed by Herefordshire Archaeology staff and provided an exciting opportunity for volunteers both local to Ledbury and from further afield to take part in and be trained in the sample excavation and preliminary recording of the St Katherine's site. The excavation provided a preliminary insight into the nature of the archaeological deposits across the site; these were subsequently uncovered, recorded and sampled but not totally excavated. The purpose of the excavation was to provide information concerning the type, depth and survival of archaeologically significant deposits and features within the site prior to the design of the new Library. It is anticipated that further excavation will need to be undertaken by an archaeological contract unit in the normal way prior to the construction of the library building. |
