Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken of land to the west of Baron's Cross Camp, Leominster, Herefordshire (NGR: SO 4755 5860; HSM 38491). The evaluation was commissioned by Bryant Homes Ltd, who intend to submit a planning application for a residential development. The evaluation comprised the excavation and recording of 27 trenches, which were located in order to investigate every part of the site that was open and accessible. Modern topsoils, former ploughsoils and natural subsoils were identified in all 27 trenches, showing that the site had not been extensively truncated during the construction of the hospital. However, surfaces and/or services associated with the hospital were found in 17 trenches. In terms of pre-modern archaeological remains, traces of medieval or later plough furrows were identified in 13 trenches. Five narrow linear features were also found, and two can be correlated with field boundaries mapped in 1850, and three others are likely to represent an earlier phase. One pre-modern pit was found near the centre, but it did not have a diagnostic fill. A small assemblage of medieval and post-medieval pottery was recovered from topsoil and ploughsoil deposits. A larger assemblage of modern artefacts was recovered, including pottery, building materials and metalwork, which can be associated with the military hospital. Finally, ten fragments of Roman brick and one sherd of Roman glass were recovered from later deposits, indicating a minor Roman presence on the site. In conclusion the area is of local archaeological significance, in terms of buried remains.
