Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd was commisssioned by Wye Valley NHS Trust, to undertake an archaeological watching brief and excavation, during groundworks in preparation for the erection of a temporary ward, corridor link and associated works at Hereford County Hospital. Groundworks entailed the excavation of nineteen foundation pad positions within the former mortuary carpark and a service link trench. Human remains, representing at least eleven individuals, were identified in association with five of the nineteen foundation bases, and within the service trench. Six of the skeletons were in-situ and remained articulated, whereas the remainder represented charnel deposits and other post-inhumation disturbance. Given that the site was located within the footprint of the burial ground of the medieval priory of St. Guthlac, skeletal material was not unexpected. The remains survived in various states of preservation and truncation, many of the bones recovered being disarticulated. Walls and other remnants of structures, potentially associated with the former Hereford Union Workhouse were also revealed during the works.
