What this record tells us
Border Archaeology was instructed by Thomas Vale Construction Ltd. to undertake archaeological observation of groundworks in respect of dwellings to be erected on the site of the former Lambournes premises at Ryelands Road Leominster Herefordshire (NGR SO 34945 25880) (Planning ref: 09/0091/FUL). Architectural drawings were supplied by Stewart and Harris Consulting Civil and Structural Engineers 9 Frederick Road Edgbaston, Birmingham and these were used to locate foundation trenching. Woolhope Club summary, Archaeology, 2010, pp. 211-212: Groundworks exposed substantial sections of a ditch more than 5 m wide and 2 m deep, possibly part of the medieval defensive circuit, together with evidence for 19th-century brick kilns. Post-medieval masonry walls, a possible fireplace and deposits associated with the neighbouring cider works were also recorded.
