Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken along the route of the Rotherwas Access Road, Herefordshire (NGR SO 553 363 to SO 533 379: Fig 1), on behalf of Halcrow Group Limited who are acting on behalf of Herefordshire Council. Herefordshire Council intends to build an access road to the Rotherwas Industrial Estate from Grafton on the A49. All fieldwork was undertaken within a survey corridor running the full 3.3km length of the route, approximately 50m wide. The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological site was present and if so to indicate what its location, date and nature were. The route for the access road follows approximately the route that was selected as a component of the Hereford Bypass scheme that was proposed in the late 1980's. Archaeological work that was carried out ahead of this original proposal identified a number of areas of archaeological potential that would be effected by the construction of the road. However, further archaeological investigation was considered necessary because of the variations in alignment between the original route and the new proposed route and because of the advances in archaeological techniques in the intervening twelve 12 years, such as the increasing use of geophysics. |
