Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Entec UK Ltd, consultant archaeologists for Tarmac Western Ltd, client at Moreton-on-Lugg, Herefordshire (NGR ref SO 5030 4730; SMR ref HSM 32268). Deposits and artefacts dating from the Mesolithic through to the Romano-British period were discovered, with activity of Early Neolithic, Middle and Late Bronze Age date recorded within the evaluation site limits. Palaeoenvironmental remains included a former stream channel and drainage features, seemingly modified by human agency during the Romano-British period were also recorded and are also considered of importance. The most important discovery was of a probable pond barrow or ritual feature dating to the first half of the Middle Bronze Age (c 1600-1400BC). This comprised a large pit which had been 'robbed' and which contained pottery, animal bone and worked wood, along with well preserved environmental remains. Postholes, two potential cremation deposits and a further pit appear to be contemporary and provide indications of a well preserved 'ritual' landscape.
