Abstract:		 Aerial photographs taken by Chris Musson during a sortie flown in 1999 as part of the Millennium Air Survey of Herefordshire resulted in a field visit. The photo appears to indicate the presence of a substantial bank and ditch around the south-east angle of the defences of either a previously undocumented fort, or the known Romano-British settlement here. Evidence of activity during the Roman period has been retrieved from a wide area adjacent to and in the middle of the floodplain of the River Frome, and straddling the boundary of the parishes of Ashperton, Canon Frome and Stretton Grandison. This is a point where a Roman road from Gloucester is crossed by one leading east from Kenchester. A preliminary field visit focused on an area to the west of the Leominster-Gloucester road. On a subsequent occasion the opportunity was also taken to visit a site north of Stretton Grandison church. This was a hill-top site mentioned in the Victoria County History for Herefordshire, Volume 1 (1908). A possible focus for the Roman roadside settlement was located, and the possible location of an antecedent Iron Age fort were defined as a result of these visits. However, the results of both visits were equivocal. It was concluded that only a more intensive and thorough exploration of the site by further survey and by site investigation works would be likely to reveal more about the nature of activity at this evidently important Roman road crossing and junction.
