Abstract:		 Herefordshire Archaeology and the University of Manchester, excavated at the hilltop site of Dorstone Hill, Herefordshire. The project forms part of an ongoing joint partnership in the investigation of prehistoric settlement within the southwest of Herefordshire. The investigations aim to improve the general knowledge of early Neolithic settlement in this area of western Britain. The investigations of Dorstone Hill form one aspect, of the second year of investigations into this period of activity. Following the discovery of Neolithic worked flint and pottery, and potentially associated works including an earthwork bank during excavations in the 1960s at the hilltop site of Dorstone Hill, and a survey of the site by an English Heritage measured survey team in the 1990s, the site was targeted for trial excavation as part of the present project. Over the course of July 2011 a long exploratory trench measuring 30m x 2m was opened across the still-visible bank and the location of a possible associated ditch. Both artefacts and features were identified that indicate Neolithic activity at the site. A further trench located close to where a concentration of flints was recovered during field-walking in the 1960s failed to recover any finds or features.
