Abstract:		 An evaluation took place at The Swan, Watling Street, Leintwardine. The site (centred on SO 40501 74044) consists of The Swan, a Grade II listed public house, probably dating to the late 16th-17th century with later additions; an open yard; and associated outbuildings. The underlying geology in the vicinity of the study area comprises glaciofluvial or river terrace gravel and till, while the underlying solid geology is of undivided Old Red Sandstone (SSEW 1983). The ground level on site is 127.50m OD. Two trenches were opened and excavated to natural. The excavations revealed evidence of a possible Bronze Age pit in Trench 1, and Post Medieval deposits and features within both Trench 1 and 2. The relatively low ground level of 127.50m OD on the site suggests that the area was terraced in the post medieval period, presumably when the Swan Inn and its yard and outhouses were built. This hypothesis is supported by the archaeological findings.
