Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Tarmac Western Ltd during the construction of a rail loading facility near Moreton-on-Lugg in Herefordshire (NGR SO 5050 4832; HSM 36591). The site, and areas to the west and south, had been evaluated in 2001 and 2002, and the results suggested that sifnificant prehistoric and Roman remains were unevenly distributed across the landscape. The main aim of the watching brief was to record any remains exposed during the groundworks. The only remains exposed by the groundworks were three ditches associated with 19th century agricultural improvements. The ditches survived in the only part of the site not affected by modern landscaping; elsewhere almost all pre-existing deposits has been removed or buried. Some archaeological remains may have been lost or obscured as a result, although the lack of other features and artefacts in the unaffected part suggests that the site was not a focus of past activity. |
