Abstract:		 An archaeological desk-based assessment and evaluation was undertaken at Upper House Farm, Moreton on Lugg, Herefordshire on behalf of Mercian Waste Management, who intend to develop a green waste facility. The site lies on the second terrace of the River Lugg. Nine trenches were excavated in the footprint of the proposed development. Archaeological features were recorded in all nine trenches, including ditches, pits, two buried Roman soils or occupation layers and a metalled trackway. Features to the west of the site were largely undated while those to the east yielded Romano-British pottery, of 1st-3rd century date. A single beam slot filled with charcoal provides evidence that timber structures stood at the north east corner of the site and it is thought that the distribution of pottery indicates that occupation lay to the east of the site in the vicinity of the enclosure while features to the west may either represent Romano-British agricultural features or evidence of earlier settlement. A fragment of flint debitage and a scraper recovered from a shallow ditch and a further fragment of debitage recovered from the fill of a probable pit is evidence of earlier activity in the vicinity. The site lies immediately west of an irregular D shaped enclosure (HSM 10375), thought to be Romano-British, visible as a cropmark and surviving as a slight earthwork. Archaeological evaluation carried out in 1998 revealed evidence of Roman activity including metalled surfaces, ditches and gullies associated with finds of 2nd to early 4th century date. The site evaluated represents a component of what may be seen as the settled landscape of the lower Lugg Valley in the Roman period. It lies 6km north east of the Roman town of Magnis and between the hillforts of Credenhill and Sutton Walls. Archaeological mitigation ahead of gravel extraction at Wellington quarry revealed significant archaeological findings including a probable Roman villa and a metalled road.
