Abstract:		 In September 2009 work began on a £5m project to restore the Cathedral Close as a suitable setting for the Cathedral and more attractive public space. The project involved intrusive ground works for the laying of services and rearrangement of paths and parking areas. Due to the historical importance of the site and the presence of archaeological remains immediately below the surface, the main contactors, C.J. Bayliss, were assisted on the project by a team of professional archaeologists from Headland Archaeology. The scheme itself was designed to minimise impact upon important archaeological deposits, and where possible to preserve remains in situ. Wherever possible the ground surface of the Close was built up to accommodate the higher curbs on the new and replacement paths. Any works that broke ground were monitored by archaeologists, and where archaeological deposits were revealed that could not be left in place, the archaeologists were afforded the time to remove the deposits and create a full record of their existence. The renovation of the Close provided a unique opportunity to study the archaeology of a large area of land right at the centre of Saxon Hereford. It was the largest excavation to be carried in Hereford for fifty years and turned out to be one of the largest medieval/post-medieval burial ground excavations undertaken in Britain. A total of 2,453 articulated human burials were revealed during the programme of works, along with the remains of structures and deposits dating from the Saxon through to the late medieval and post medieval period.
