Merton Meadow Hereford

Abstract

From the 10th to the 14th of June 2013 Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out a trial trench evaluation in and around Merton Meadow car park in Hereford. The evaluation was commissioned by CgMs Consulting and consisted of five trenches. The two trenches within the southern part of the car park revealed former channels, the infilling of one dating to the mid twentieth century, the others undated. A trench adjacent to Widemarsh Street revealed the remains of several phases of late post medieval buildings respecting the street frontage, and a culverted channel of nineteenth century date. A single small undated ditch of probable recent date was revealed in one of the two trenches within the north of the car park.
