Abstract:		 Following the pre-excavation of two engineering access pits located to the S of Stretton Grandison (SO 63183 43262) in 2007, Border Archaeology undertook a further programme of excavation on behalf of Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water/Laing O'Rourke (DCWW/LOR) in advance of engineering works to replace pipe couplers deemed to be at risk of potential leak and as part of a comprehensive replacement programme along the whole 2007/8 installation. The archaeological work was carried out in approximately the same locations previously excavated, namely those indicated as Access Pits (APs) 8 and 9, the aim being to ascertain the presence/absence of any further archaeological deposits, to ensure their preservation by record and to recover and process all materials considered to be of archaeological significance or having the potential to contribute to archaeological knowledge. As was anticipated in the WSI (Border Archaeology, 2010, 3), the locations of AP8 and AP9 were not immediately evident, and some minor variation to the original trench location occurred which resulted in further significant deposits being revealed. AP8 revealed further evidence of the Roman settlement (SAM Herefordshire 330). In addition to the well, kiln and occupation deposits excavated in 2007 Border Archaeology have observed two possible building platforms with an associated trackway or courtyard, as well as various occupation layers, a rubbish pit/organic dump and a dump of waste slag. This additional information suggests an area of the settlement being utilised as an area of industrial enterprise. Pottery dated these features to the 1st - 2nd centuries AD. The investigation of AP9 revealed no new archaeological deposits, as the original AP was located exactly and no additional area was opened. A well-compacted mid red-brown sandy clay natural was observed in this area at 60.49m OD
