Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken upon the route of proposed road improvements along the A4103 Roman Road, Hereford, Herefordshire (NGR SO 465 424 to 488 423, HSM 31203 and 31204), on behalf of Halcrow Group Ltd who are acting on behalf of Herefordshire Council. The combination of evidence from the ground probing radar on the road and the trenching in the adjoining fields suggests that the original Roman road and its associated features survive in a good state of preservation beneath the present A4103. Roman activity was also present at the Stretton Sugwas where a trial trench located the site of Roman period iron working. Also present was pottery that suggested that domestic activity was also close by and that the deposits probably represented part of a Roman rural settlement set slightly back from the road. A large pit containing Roman pottery was also discovered close to the road at Stretton Sugwas, which may be related to the construction of the road. A mound under the road to the west of the Yazor Brook that was suggested as being a feature of the prehistoric landscape was also investigated. Trial trenches identified two linear features but no dating evidence was recovered.
