Abstract: |
Border Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a programme of Archaeological Observation during ground-works prior to the construction of 10 one-bedroom flats providing supported accommodation for adults with learning difficulties. The site lies in a suburb of the medieval city of Hereford, close to Blackfriars priory. No deposits of archaeological significance were revealed during the work. At the northern end of the site, a sterile pink-brown silty clay, thought to be a natural deposit, lay beneath a topsoil that appeared to derive from cultivation. This had been cut by a pit containing numerous stoneware jam jars, dating to the end of the 19th -or early 20th century. A single sherd of pottery dating to between the 14th and 17th centuries was recovered from the subsoil (102). To the south, adjoining the frontage, the only deposit present was a mixed demolition layer, of very recent date. It seems likely that any archaeological deposits that may have been present on the street frontage were destroyed during modern construction and demolition. |
