Abstract: |
Border Archaeology was instructed by Mrs Elizabeth Hughes Quay Cottage 12 Quay Street Hereford Herefordshire HR1 2NH to carry out a programme of archaeological observation of ground-works relating to a proposed single-storey flat roof extension to the E of the property for an additional bedroom with study and demolition of an existing garage, single-storey extension to the S side. This work was carried out on the 26th and 27th of February 2013. Ground-works revealed a large ditch oriented NNE-SSW. The ditch was backfilled with late post-medieval demolition material to a depth of >0.8m. The base of the ditch was not revealed due to limited excavation depth. This feature may have formed part of the defensive ditch around the late 12th-early 13th century Norman keep formerly sited approximately 40m to the N, and which was believed to connect with the river at this point. The ditch was filled with an 18th century landscaping deposit. |
