Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Newmarket Street, Hereford. It was undertaken on behalf of Stanhope Plc, as part of a wider scheme for development of the former Cattle Market. Associated works within the carriageway included new service trenches and intrusive groundworks within a Scheduled Monument comprising the location of the former city walls, ramparts and ditch in this area of the city (Scheduled Monument HE124). Consent for these works was granted by English Heritage subject to conditions including archaeological observation of groundworks within and in the immediate vicinity of the scheduled area. Part of the works also lay within the designated Area of Archaeological Importance and consent was granted by Herefordshire Council. The works included a new Welsh Water drainage service trench, excavation of tree pits, traffic lights, service ducting and highways surface drainage on the south carriageway of the street. Archaeological monitoring was undertaken in May 2013 and between February and March 2014. Modern made ground forming the base of the road and service trenches were encountered in all areas and natural gravels at a depth of 1.8m below current ground level. No in situ archaeological deposits were encountered although during observation of the excavation of a tree pit, a number of worked grey sandstone ashlar masonry blocks were encountered within modern made ground. It is thought that these may represent fabric of the medieval city wall or associated structures disturbed during the construction of a modern subway in the mid 20th Century.
