Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Border Archaeology Ltd (BA) was instructed Guy Drummond Esq of BGD Property Developments to carry out a programme of Archaeological Observation (AO) during groundworks in connection with the conversion of the former Rosswyn Hotel Ross-on-Wye to two retail and 11 residential units together with the erection of seven two-bed dwellings. This report follows a Standing Building Recording Survey previously undertaken by Border Archaeology (BA 2016) and concerns observations carried out during foundation and drainage excavations. No deposits or features of early date were present on the site, although a single sherd of late medieval or early post-medieval pottery was recovered. Further pottery from stratified contexts was of late 18th -or early 19th -century date and would thus seem to derive from activity around the existing buildings on the site. Structural remains encountered in George Place at the rear of the buildings seem likely to relate to a number of buildings and outhouses shown on 19th -and 20th -century Ordnance Survey maps, together with a possible boundary wall. Although the foundations for these walls were of stone, the surviving superstructures were of machine-made brick. It is thought likely that any earlier deposits or features that may have existed on the site were destroyed during the construction of the existing building and subsequent phases of alteration. This supposition is supported by the fact that later post-medieval and modern deposits were seen to lie immediately above the natural clay and bedrock. Two pits had been excavated in George Place to receive demolition rubble, presumably from this process.
