Abstract: |
Herefordshire Archaeology undertook an archaeological watching brief was undertaken during construction works to facilitate ground reduction, with the purpose of creating vehicular access to the property known as, 'The Crozens' 114, Eign Road, Hereford. One trench measuring 7.5m in length and 2m depth was excavated by machine under close archaeological supervision, in order to reduce the height of an existing bank and overburden, which stood 1.8m above the current level of Crozen lane and to excavate stepped footings for foundations in readiness for a retaining wall to be constructed. This trench, revealed a small section of foundations for a well constructed stone wall, which appeared to represent the original 19th Century Southern boundary of the property. At a depth of 1.65m, a layer of a heavily disturbed patch of loose flat sandstones abutting this wall was also encountered, which likely represented a surface/pathway contemporary with the boundary wall. This East facing section of bank comprised a series of natural soil and gravel deposits, together with further modern levelling deposits, and accumulations of refuse from Victorian times through to modern day. No other archaeological deposits were noted within this area of ground reduction, and no evidence of any connection to the Row Ditch to the South. |
