Abstract: |
Border Archaeology carried out the archaeological field evaluation of land in East Street to the rear of No. 26 St Owen Street, Hereford, on June 1st 2009 with the aim of locating evidence of the pre-Conquest defences. The northern section of the defences is presumed to lie along the West Street/East Street axis and it was anticipated that development activity in this area would impact upon significant archaeological remains. Two trenches were excavated close to the NW and SE boundaries of the site. Trench 1 revealed the remains of post-medieval cellarage while Trench 2 contained further cellarage, together with the remains of a probable bread oven. Due to trench instability, detailed investigation of deposits was not possible. To the rear of the cellarage, the excavations located a substantial build-up of medieval and post-medieval deposits of c.3.5m in depth, which were suggestive of the fill of the early medieval ditch; a slight bank cut of pink gravel was encountered that may represent one edge of the ditch. |
