Abstract:		 Herefordshire Archaeology undertook a survey in support of The Community Commons Project operated by Herefordshire Nature Trust. A rapid walk over survey was carried out on the common concerned. A hand held Global Positioning by Satellite System instrument was used to record the location of features encountered. Features were recorded on Hergest Ridge Common that would illustrate the intensive use of the land resource in the late and post medieval periods, i.e. quarries, earthworks, settlement platforms and possible hollow way's. During the survey a number of cairns were identified within the west and south of the common as evidence for possible prehistoric activity. The boundaries of a later field system interpreted as a medieval field system were also identified within the south and west of the common. Upon the summit of Hergest Ridge is a post-medieval racetrack. According to the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey Map this site had already been abandoned by the late 1800s. Archaeologically the racecourse remains prominent with a number of associated platforms surviving along the tracks inner edge though today they are overgrown with a mix of bracken and gorse.
