Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken at land off Abbey Road, Evesham, Worcestershire (NGR: SP03241 43362 - WSM 37561). The excavation uncovered the partial remains of a Late Bronze Age settlement, including a small roundhouse and numerous reused grain storage features. No contemporary boundary ditches were identified and it is thought that the remains form part of an unenclosed settlement. Key finds include a small but significant assemblage of Late Bronze Age decorated phase pottery, and an assemblage of Late Bronze Age querns. Both add to the limited data for finds of this date from the region. The central roundhouse consisted of ten postholes forming the central supports to a building approximately 8.00m in diameter, the porch of which was aligned to the west overlooking the River Avon. It is thought that this structure was dismantled rather than being abandoned, either after it was no longer inhabited or during a period of reorganisation to the settlement. An earlier square posthole structure is thought to represent the remains of an above ground storage structure, possibly for grain, which implies a change in use for this area of the settlement, from storage to habitation. The entire settlement was not exposed and it is thought that the excavation area was only a small proportion of a larger settlement. Cropmarks identified within the next northerly field appear to confirm this, as the extensive pit groups and ditches visible appear prehistoric in nature. As with other local and national Late Bronze Age examples, the settlement is thought to have been short lived and remained unenclosed until its abandonment.
