Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological works was undertaken within the Moreton South Extension of Wellington Quarry, Herefordshire (NGR SO 5030 4730) during the period 2012-2014. The work was completed on behalf of Lafarge Tarmac Limited in advance of the extension of this recently permitted area. In the north part of the investigated area, a series of Neolithic pits were discovered and occurred both in isolation and in small clusters. Neolithic pottery and flint were recovered in small but significant quantities from many of these features. Further undated but probably Bronze Age activity was represented by several waterholes associated with pits filled with fire-cracked stones. One group was associated with a sub-rectangular feature (possibly a trough) the fill of which included a large volume of fire-cracked stone. These features appear to relate to activities of the type associated with burnt mounds, and although no burnt mound was association with these pits and waterholes, some distance to the south a mound was located adjacent to a palaeochannel. The peat-filled palaeochannel had first been identified at evaluation and was recorded running along the west side of the investigated area. This was cut along its length by a drainage ditch of probable late Roman to early post-Roman date. Later features comprised a series of ditches and drains associated with a water-meadow system which has previously been mapped through aerial photography and LiDAR. Medieval and later field boundaries and land-drains were also recorded. The associated alluvial sequence comprised a strong reddish-brown silty clay underlying the modern turf line. This was cut by post-medieval and later features and sealed the palaeochannel along with Roman, Neolithic and Bronze Age features all of which were cut into a yellowish-brown deposit of prehistoric origin. Lastly a strong reddish silty clay horizon directly overlaid natural sand and gravel.
