Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment was undertaken of land at the proposed Household Waste Recycling Centre, Banley Farm, Kington, Herefordshire (NGR SO 301,559). It was undertaken on request of Axis Ltd, on behalf of their client Mercian Waste Management. The proposed development area is approximately 100m x 50m; it is bounded to the east by the A4111 and to the north by a commercial unit and private housing. The desk-based assessment indicated that there had been no archaeological fieldwork undertaken on or in the immediate vicinity of the development site. It also suggested that the site itself has had a pastoral or agricultural character for much of its history, being unaffected by the medieval establishment of the town of Kington and the subsequent expansion of the town from medieval to modern times. In addition to the desk-based assessment, a watching brief was carried out on the excavation of nine geotechnical test pits that revealed no archaeological features. Small quantities of post-medieval glazed ceramics were recovered from the topsoil of one of the test pits. Although archaeological fieldwork has been limited here, there is some evidence of Roman and Prehistoric activity in the general vicinity, but no specific archaeological site or monument could be identified within the specific proposed development area.
