Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in May and June 2016 at Blackfriars Street, Hereford, Herefordshire. Four trenches were excavated. An undated pit, sealed by subsoil, was identified in Trench 3. Three undated pits/postholes, also seemingly cutting the subsoil, were identified in Trench 4. Although undated, these features are similar in nature to a number of pits previously identified in close proximity to the current site and tentatively interpreted as representing evidence of prehistoric activity. A pit/ditch terminal, identified cutting the subsoil in Trench 4, contained a single sherd of medieval (12th to 14th-century) pottery. A number of undated pits/postholes were also identified cutting the subsoil within the trench and are likely to be broadly contemporary. A curving ditch/gully containing quantities of blacksmithing slag and two, probably contemporary, postholes were identified cutting the subsoil in Trench 3. Although these features cannot be dated securely they are most likely medieval in date and may form part of a structure related to small-scale industrial activity. A ditch identified in Trench 3 is likely to relate to post-medieval agricultural land management, drainage or division. A number of modern pits containing animal burials, presumably relating to the agricultural usage of the site, were identified in Trench 1. Modern post holes were identified in Trenches 1 and 2.
