Abstract:		 An archaeological field evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Greatwest Investments Ltd at Moreton Park near Moreton-on-Lugg in Herefordshire (NGR SO 5020 4560), in order to inform future decisions regarding a proposed development. No archaeological information was available on the site, but previous work in the surrounding area suggested that significant prehistoric and Roman remains might be present. The aim of the evaluation was to establish the presence/absence, extent, character, condition and quality of archaeological remains by excavating 11 trial trenches, and relating the results to existing ground investigation records. For the most part, the trenches exposed shallow and partially truncated alluvial profiles, while the ground investigation records suggested that a similar pattern obtained across the site. These phenomena are considered to reflect the location of the site on the margins of a floodplain, and the impact of landscaping associated with the site's former military use. In some areas, pre-existing alluvium had been completely removed, or heavily truncated. However, across over much of the site, truncation was relatively minimal, and in two areas at least the alluvium was undisturbed, though probably altered from its original state. Taken together, the evidence suggests that the site may contain archaeological remains, though they are likely to survive less well than in other parts of the Lugg valley.
