Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook an archaeological excavation within Custos Lodge Yard, Vicars Choral, Hereford Cathedral prior to construction of a small building on the site. The excavation revealed four human burials at a depth of c.2m below the existing ground surface. Carbon dating on one of the burials revealed a pre-conquest date for their death, and analysis of the skeleton revealed evidence of several fatal battle wounds. A sequence of former yard surfaces sealed these burials. The excavation also uncovered evidence of the 15th century Custos Lodge, in the form of the foundation of its southern wall and a subterranean feature thought to be a cellar or latrine pit. |
