Abstract: |
Border Archaeology Ltd (BA) was instructed by Jason Richards Esq. to carry out a programme of Archaeological Evaluation on land to the N of the Red Lion Hotel, Weobley, Herefordshire, HR4 8SD in connection with the proposed construction of two dwellings. The site is located in the historic village of Weobley within the heart of the Weobley Conservation Area. Two trenches measuring 10m in length and 2m wide were excavated to archaeological deposits in order to record the nature and extent of any archaeological remains which were present on the site. The trenches were positioned in order to encounter buildings shown on historic mapping. A number of features and deposits were encountered in both trenches, together with sherds of pottery confirming medieval activity on the site. In Trench 2 on the E side of the site a potentially medieval feature was cut by post-medieval linear features which may relate to the buildings which occupied the area up to the early 19th century. Medieval pottery was found in a pit in the NE corner of the trench. The medieval features may relate to burgage plots known to have occupied the site. In Trench 1 a linear feature contained pottery dating to the 14th to 15th centuries. |
