Abstract: |
Border Archaeology Ltd (BA) was instructed by Jim Brechtmann Esq., Contracts Manager, Border Oak Design and Construction, on behalf of Mrs M. Albright,. to carry out a programme of Archaeological Observation during excavation of foundations for a two storey two-bedroom dwelling at Court House Cottage, Pembridge, Herefordshire, HR6 9EA. The site is located in the historic settlement core of Pembridge, close to the church and moated site, in an area considered to be archaeologically sensitive, particularly with regard to the medieval and Saxo-Norman period. No features or deposits of archaeological interest were present on the site. It was thought possible that major disturbance, including the excavation of substantial rubbish pits during the post-medieval period, may have destroyed earlier features which may have been present. A large pit containing 18th century pottery was present on the E side of the site, with further 18th or 19th century pottery present in an area of disturbance to the N. Furthermore, no subsoil was observed on the site, which may also imply that substantial disturbance had taken place presumably during the later post-medieval period. No finds of earlier date were seen during the work. |
