Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment was undertaken on behalf of Westbury Homes (Holdings) Ltd. At Old Wharf Cottage, New Street, Ledbury, Herefordshire (NGR SO 7030 3690). A possible medieval moated site was identified just to the south of the area of the proposed development, but all the archaeological interest directly associated with the site was related to transport, as the local canal and railway routes both passed through the site. The assessment especially recognised the importance of this location in the history of the Hereford-Gloucester canal. The canal was constructed from Gloucester as far as Ledbury in 1798, extended to Hereford in 1832 and proceeded to serve the town until 1880, when it was superseded by the Great Western Railway. The area of proposed development was part of the canal wharf and probably comprises an area of the canal, along with a complex of warehouses and yards, and later the railway.
