Abstract: |
Border Archaeology Ltd was instructed by the Landowner to carry out an archaeological programme of work at Nos 32-35 Bridge Street Hereford HR4 9DG relating to proposed alterations affecting land to the rear of these properties and associated with their return to residential use. Nine trial holes measuring 1m × 1m were excavated by hand in land comprising former garden plots, currently a carpark and grassed area, backing onto the Scheduled Area of the Hereford City Walls, Ramparts and Ditch Scheduled Ancient Monument (List entry Number: 1005528). Trial Holes D and I were extended in order to further characterise and identify structural remains. An archaeological horizon was encountered in five out of the nine trial holes excavated, producing the following results: 1, Trial Hole A - 19th Century wall encountered at a depth of c.0.42m 2,Trial Hole B - potential archaeological horizon containing charcoal and CBM at a depth of c.0.40m 3,Trial Hole D - north-south aligned wall (sat within topsoil) revealed at a depth of c.0.05m 4,Trial Hole H - foundation remains of a potential east-west aligned wall at a depth of c.0.20m 5, Trial Hole I - squared slate structure filled with an ash deposit with charcoal encountered at a depth of c.0.53m. No archaeological horizon was encountered in trial holes C, E, F and G and a maximum depth of c.0.50m was attained. Topsoil and imported/redeposited gravelly soils were recorded throughout and no natural horizon was reached. |
