Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology between August and October 2015 on land at Three Elms, Hereford, Herefordshire. One hundred and ninety three trenches, some of which were located on anomalies identified during an earlier geophysical survey, were excavated. A small number of archaeological features were identified during the evaluation. The majority of these features were identified within the northern half of the site. A concentration of features, comprising pits, ditches and postholes, was identified in the north-eastern corner of the site. One of the ditches contained worked flint flakes of Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date and it is possible that the remaining, undated, features in this area are broadly contemporary. A small number of further ditches identified across the site, were found to contain worked flint of prehistoric date, although the possibility remains that this material is residual. A ditch identified in the north central part of the site confirmed the presence of a curving linear feature identified by the preceding geophysical survey. Late prehistoric pottery was recovered from this feature; however the possibility remains that this pottery is residual. A burnt mound, of probable prehistoric date, was identified close to the course of a brook in the north-western corner of the site. Two pits, two ditches and a compact stony deposit, the latter possibly representing a trackway, working platform or surface, were identified in the same trench and may be associated with the burnt mound.
