Abstract:		 Stratascan were commissioned to undertake a geophysical survey of the Cathedral Close at Hereford prior to the regeneration of the Close. This survey forms part of an archaeological and underground utilities investigation being undertaken by Hereford Cathedral. A geophysical and utility mapping survey was carried out at Hereford Cathedral Close. The utility mapping results can be seen in Figures 4, 5 and 9. The geophysical survey has been successful in locating a number of features of possible archaeological origin. Discrete areas of high resistance may relate to structural debris or ground disturbance of possible archaeological origin. The gradiometry survey was of limited success due to the high levels of magnetic disturbances associated with an urban site. However areas of magnetic debris and discrete positive anomalies may relate to areas of archaeological activity. The GPR has identified a large number of services, confirmed documented structural remains and has identified further potential areas of archaeological interest. The continuation of the Saxon road and the possible extents of the mass graves partially identified in the 1993 library excavations can be seen within the GPR data with supporting evidence from the gradiometer and resistance surveys. The identification of individual burials has been difficult due to frequent ground disturbance and later landscaping activities. However, a small number of discrete anomalies seen across the survey area may represent individual burials within an area of graveyard activity.
