Hereford City Excavations - volume 2: Excavations on and close to the defences
R Shoesmith
CBA Research Report No 46 (1982)
ISBN 0 906780 16 0
Abstract
This is the second of three volumes on the archaeology of Hereford. The first part of this volume includes a section on the historical background to the defences and provides a postulated defensive sequence for the city. The detailed reports of excavations, which took place between 1965 and 1976, on and close to the defences, are in the digitised microfiche with summaries in the text. In part 2, the conclusions from ten years of archaeological research in Hereford are presented, the defensive sequence is established, and the origins and growth of the city are discussed.
