Abstract:		 Archenfield Archaeology Ltd was commissioned to archaeologically evaluate land to the rear of the Hop Pole Inn on Commercial Road, Hereford. The work was commissioned in response to planning application CE 06/1158/F for the demolition of existing rear extensions and the erection of living accommodation for 38 key worker properties. The site was in an area which seems likely to have been first developed as a suburb by the bishops of Hereford in the later 11th and early 12th centuries. It was adjacent to the presumed site of the Benedictine priory of St Guthlac, which was established to the north-east of the old Anglo-Saxon town in the 1140s, having been re-located from the site of Hereford Castle. A single ''T'' shaped trench was opened within the area of the development and revealed well preserved archaeological features. Pits and ditches contained pottery dating from the medieval period and horncores and smithing gromps that possibly indicate industrial activity. The medieval features were covered by a 1.50 metre thick layer of well-mixed garden soil that remained relatively undisturbed until the late post-medieval period when the site was re-utilized. Several rubbish pits recorded in the evaluation probably date to this period. The trench was approximately 50 metres from the road frontage and it may be expected that archaeological features will increase in density closer to the Commercial Road frontage.
