Abstract:		 Border Archaeology Ltd was instructed by Roger Peachey Esq Architect on behalf of Mr and Mrs Francis Aldhouse to carry out Archaeological Observation during foundation excavations for a single-storey extension at Harley Lodge St John Street Hereford HR1 2NB. Work also included observation of two Trial Pits prior to commencement of work and a third during the main part of the groundworks. Also subject to AO was the excavation of the foundations for garden walls and steps. The site is considered to be archaeologically sensitive, with potential for encountering remains of Saxo-Norman date. Use of raft foundations avoided deep excavation. The shallow foundation depth may account for the absence of features or deposits of medieval or Saxo-Norman date, the only deposits seen being of post-medieval date, including layers of garden soil and a mixed post-medieval subsoil, together with former paths associated with the gardens of Harley House. A number of rubbish pits with pottery of late 18th to 19th Century date were also present. Trenches and fills for extant and previous services were recorded. Although St John Street is thought to lie outside the former Cathedral burial ground, a small number of disarticulated human remains were recovered from the fill (1116) of an existing drain trench under MoJ licence and reinterred. Subsequent observation in the area revealed no further human bones and it thus seems likely that the small amount recovered may have been accidentally imported. The Cathedral Close was landscaped in the 19th Century. In addition to the human remains, a single sherd of Romano-British greyware (reduced Severn Valley ware) was recovered from the post-medieval subsoil. Although unstratified and visually insignificant, it adds further to the evidence for Romano-British activity in Hereford, particularly in the area around the Cathedral.
