Abstract:		 Herefordshire Archaeology undertook a field investigation, in July 2005, on the Roman Road crossing the River Wye at Kenchester in association with Wildfire TV (for Channel 4 Television) and The National Trust. This was one of nine key sites nation-wide featured in the week-long Time Team 'Big Roman Dig' broadcasts. The excavations revealed that beyond the first 100m out from the edge of the floodplain, the character of the road changes considerably. In effect, from this point the road is constructed as a causeway, (rather than being built on top of a prepared causeway), and its foundations were simply consolidated over the alluvium. Effectivly 'floated' over the soft deposits, with the concrete used to bond the road substrate and its surfaces together forming the very foundation of the whole structure. Two distinct types of road were encountered laid next to one-another. A 'high/fast' element to the east and a 'low/slow' element to the west. A section cut through the road revealed that it had been completely re-surfaced on the separate occasions. Excavations over the presumed bridging point were inconclusive.
