About the Company

Border Archaeology was established in 1997 as an archaeological contracting company utilising modern business methods to offer an extensive range of services to both companies and private individuals throughout the United Kingdom.

The Company takes a specifically client-focused approach to the delivery of solutions and operates a policy of price and issue clarity. We pride ourselves on the diversity of our work portfolio and this is illustrated by recent operations in these disparate fields:

Excavation – The company carried out a series of excavations within an area of known Roman settlement at Stretton Grandison, Herefordshire.

These excavations revealed significant evidence of Roman occupation, including a cemetery containing the remains of at least 18 indivduals and a remarkably well preserved oak coffin.

Identifying these remains at an early stage facilitated the resolution of archaeological issues in advance of engineering works...MORE

Community excavation and archaeological projects In 2004, Border Archaeology worked in partnership with the Pembridge Amenity Trust in Herefordshire to
excavate on a Scheduled Ancient Monument at Court House Farm moated site and to carry out initial desk-based research, as part of the Medieval Pembridge project.

The community dig was supervised by Border Archaeology staff and involved schoolchildren and villagers, with ages ranging from five years to 86! Click HERE for more about Community Projects.

Domicilium - Border Archaeology’s historical analysis service is aimed at owners of older properties wishing to know more about where they live...MORE

The Company recognises that it works in partnership with other professionals, such as architects, developers and statutory authorities, and that trust and reliability in such matters is paramount.

We are committed to maintaining high standards in fieldwork and analytical work throughout the many areas of archaeology that the company undertakes. To this end, a comprehensive quality assurance programme is being comprehensively implemented, in recognition of obligations to statutory bodies such as County Councils, Cadw: Welsh Historic Monuments and English Heritage, as the Company strives to ensure that all such duties are discharged conscientiously for the long-term benefit of clients
