Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Hercules House Ltd at 77, Old Road, Bromyard, Herefordshire (NGR. SO 6510 5458; HSM 44818). Approximately 40% of the total area of the development site was monitored. No significant archaeological features, layers, structures, deposits or horizons were identified, not artefacts recovered. The earliest structural remains on site comprised a stack of handmade 17th-18th century roof tiles. However, they were associated with a dump of building debris which contained 20th century material. It is unclear if these tiles were removed from a building which previously occupied the site, such as No. 77, or were from further afield. The earliest identified in situ structural remains observed date from the 18th century and comprised a stone structure with an internal brick floor, which may have been an outhouse the former No. 77. The date of construction of the main house is unclear, although a building with a similar footprint is indicated on the tithe map of 1844. A small brick and stone structure with a red tile floor lay within a sand revetting wall to the north-east corner of the site. It appears to be the building depicted on the 1st edition OS map of 1885. Otherwise only a small number of 19th-20th century rubbish pits and a brick soakaway were identified across those monitored areas of the site. The limited finds assemblage from this site provided evidence of residual domestic debris from the early 17th century onwards. It would appear therefore that the site has not been extensively occupied or utilised previously, and was put to pasture and gardens from at least the mid 19th century. |
