Ledbury archaeological dig uncovers medieval wall
An archaeological evaluation survey at Ledbury's Masters House has been completed as a precursor to the creation of a £2.9 million library and community complex for the town.
The dig uncovered evidence of a medieval wall - a report
detailing this and any other artefacts found during the survey will
be produced by archaeologists within the next couple of
weeks.
The archaeological survey was essential due to the historic nature
of the site and its completion and the report paves the way for the
design brief for the library to be finalised.
Work to dig a 20-metre trench began on Monday, June 9, and the investigation took most of this week.
Herefordshire Council plans a new library with access for disabled people within the St Katherine's area of the high street, together with a new information centre, a tourist information centre and visitor attraction with a focus for local history and culture, as well as further space for use by the community.
