Abstract:		 Western Power Distribution identified an overhead electricity cable that was deemed desirable to re-route below ground. The proposed route of the cable was through an area of Eastnor Estate which is part of a Registered Park, it is currently managed under a Higher Level Stewardship Scheme and his recorded within the Historic Environment Record as being close to an area where flint artefacts have been recovered. In mitigation of these works Herefordshire Archaeology were contracted by Christopher Lyons Rural Asset Management, on behalf of Eastnor Estate to undertake a watching brief on the trenching as it ran through the parkland. No recognisable, archaeological, features were encountered and no artefacts were recovered during the works. The lines of three water pipes were recorded as they crossed the line of the trench. The profile of the top-soil, subsoil and bedrock suggests that this area has been ploughed for a considerable period of time, possibly beginning during the prehistoric period and continuing into the medieval period. This has caused considerable erosion from the ridge top to be transported down slope, smoothing the topography.
