Abstract
Some connected thoughts on the parks and gardens of Herefordshire before the age of landscape gardening
David Whitehead
193 - 223
Overview of evidence from the area.
Report on the excavation of Huntsham Romano British villa and Iron Age enclosure 1959--1970
Elizabeth Taylor
224 - 281
Reports an excavation aimed at revealing the existing remains of the buildings suggested by the quantity of pottery found on the surface of the fields. Careful recording of all that was found also produced fragmentary information about the villa in its earlier phases. Aerial photographs and Enclosure A indicate Huntsham was occupied in the Late Iron Age. Early iron smelting evidence in association with mid-first-century native pottery is succeeded by mid-second-century pottery. This defines a hiatus in activity that cannot presently be explained. The mid-second-century AD function of the villa is uncertain but a marked change in activity and prosperity in the late-second century was accompanied by much of the building work which still exists. Following a decline, the late-third century saw an increase in activity, potentially connected with a possible brewery constructed in the aisled barn. It is noted that the villa is ideally situated for the transport of heavy goods by boat, that at no time does it evince more than a modest degree of luxury in either of the two houses, and that its overall status may be better understood once more work has been done on other villas in the vicinity. The main report is followed by separately authored notes on: `The pottery' by Peter Webster (253--69); brick and tile; `Additional samian ware and stamps' by B R Hartley (270--1); `Mortaria' by Kay Hartley (271); `The coins' by Edward Besly (271--3); `The glass' by Peter Webster (273--4); `The Huntsham spear' by M V Taylor (274); `The Roman bronze small-finds' by Janet Webster (274--7); `Crucibles' by R F Tylecote (278); `Apothecary's palette' by G C Boon (278); micellaneous small finds; querns and millstones with a note by D G Buckley (279); iron finds, ore and slag; bones - being a small unrepresentative assemblage of animal bone identified by Felicity Taylor (279); building materials; and finally and appended note on `A possible Roman water mill' by Elizabeth Taylor (280--1).

Archaeological and historical investigations at 9--19 Widemarsh Street and 41--43 Bewell Street, Hereford
Richard Stone
335 - 345
In the light of PPG16 (1990) and the closer association of archaeology and the planning process, the history of this site and the results of the archaeological and architectural investigations are presented. The mitigation strategy used and the problems encountered in its implementation are discussed in relation to the redevelopment of the site. The earliest evidence dated from the post-Conquest period and indicates the Norman suburb of Hereford. Most of the practical work did not disturb medieval levels and the developer's foundation designs were altered to allow deposits to remain in situ and undisturbed. The exercise concluded that the Widemarsh Street property had always been more built up and that a more complex stratigraphy survives in this area than is the case with Bewell Street properties. Also, at time of writing (early 1990s) despite the developer and architect's full cooperation, in this instance a lack of cooperation from the contractor carrying out the work meant much of the stratigraphy was disturbed without adequate observation by archaeologists.
