Abstract: |
Border Archaeology was commissioned by Kinsey Hern Esq to undertake a programme of Archaeological Field Evaluation of land at Upper House Farm Lyonshall Herefordshire. This programme of work was informed by the results of the Desk Based Assessment (DBA) carried out by Border Archaeology in November 2014. No archaeological features or deposits were encountered, with the exception of the levelled embankment for the late 19th -century railway and possible evidence of post-medieval ridge-and-furrow cultivation. Very few finds were recovered, suggesting that the site had been in continuous agricultural use and that no settlement activity had been present. It would appear likely that the northern portion of the site may have formed part of the open-field agricultural system surrounding the planned town of Lyonshall. Two sherds of pottery of later medieval date found in the northern part of Site A may have been brought onto the site from the occupied area within midden material spread over the area as fertiliser. |
