Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Herefordshire Council for flood alleviation works at Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire (NGR ref SO 596 244 - SO 611 248). No significant archaeological features, layers, horizons, structures, or archaeological artefacts were identified during the project. The area of the site at Rudhall Brook had been subject to use as a meadow, dump and car park. Therefore it maybe surmised that such activity resulted in the disturbance of the medieval and earlier levels, if indeed they were previously present. Nevertheless, the possibility remains that archaeological deposits survive in areas of the site not disturbed by the Rudhall Brook channel enlargement. Excavation for the Chatterly Brook channel enlargement revealed that, when the original culvert was laid at Chatterley Brook, the ground level nearest the river was raised by up by several metres, using building rubble and a mixture of original and imported topsoil. It is possible this embankment was altered when the area was in use for the Hereford Ross and Gloucester Railway in 1855. A deposit within the falling shaft probably related to the back fill of the millpond. All other deposits beneath this were of geological origin, no deposits or features associated with a millpond were revealed and no waterlogged deposits were observed. If archaeological deposits were previously present, it is possible that they had been severely truncated or destroyed by the millpond.
