Abstract: |
A staged programme of archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land to the north of St Peter's Close and to the east of Morton Industrial Estate, Moreton-on-Lugg, Herefordshire (centred on NGR: SO 507 466; Fig 1), and to the south of currently permitted sand and gravel extraction operations at Wellington Quarry. It was undertaken on behalf of Tarmac Limited, who wish to extend their extraction area southwards and the evaluation was undertaken to support a planning application for this extension. The project aimed to determine if a significant archaeological site was present and if so to indicate its location, date and nature. The first stage of the programme of works comprised a desk-based assessment completed in 2006 (Miller and Jackson 2006) and was designed to contribute to an Environmental Impact Assessment being produced by SLR Consulting Limited for the proposed southwards extension. This informed a subsequent staged programme of field investigation as required by Herefordshire Archaeology to provide further information to support determination of the application. A final report for the evaluation will be submitted in due course upon completion of detailed analysis of the results of the fieldwork. This will include the securing of radiocarbon determinations and other specialist analyses, which will take several months from completion of fieldwork (estimated delivery date April/May 2008). Consequently, this interim statement is presented in order to provide sufficient information to allow Herefordshire Archaeology to determine any archaeological planning conditions recommended for the development. |
