Abstract:		 This report details the interim findings of an archaeological field evaluation carried out by Border Archaeology adjacent to the Blackfriars Stand at Hereford United Football Ground, Edgar Street, Hereford, in advance of development. Fieldwork was undertaken between October 19th and 22nd 2009 when two trenches, each measuring 10m by 1.5m, were opened by machine and toothless bucket and subsequently excavated by hand to a maximum depth of 1m. At least one of these trenches revealed features and deposits potentially indicative of early human occupation, based on comparison with the results of fieldwork carried out immediately to the south of the site at Hereford Cattle Market in 2006, where a pit was identified containing prehistoric pottery, carbonised wood, soil samples and burned stones. Study of the pottery collected from this feature suggests that it is Late Neolithic or early Bronze Age and may potentially date to the Beaker period, c. 2500bc. There are striking similarities between the feature revealed at Hereford Cattle Market and a series of pits identified by Border Archaeology at the Hereford United site on the opposite side of Blackfriars Street, these being their relatively shallow depth below existing ground level, their stratigraphic relationship with the natural gravels and the composition and content of their fills. It is thus concluded that the features exposed on either side of Blackfriars Street are broadly contemporary, although this interpretation remains provisional at present. Upon advice (and instruction to proceed thereof) from Julian Cotton of Herefordshire Archaeology as to the importance of the environmental samples taken during the evaluation in determining an appropriate mitigation strategy, laboratory analysis of material recovered from the pits will be undertaken.
