Abstract:		 In September 2008,Worcestershire County Council were commissioned by CgMs Consulting to excavate three sample trenches in a car park on the south side of Droitwich town centre (NGR 89710 63360 - WSM 39889). The project was associated with a proposed development by Kandahar (Droitwich) Ltd. It was designed as an initial stage of field evaluation after a desk-based assessment identified at least a moderate potential for various remains. The trenches showed evidence of severe truncation during the construction of the car park in the early 1980s. No pre-modern deposits survived in the northern and central trenches, but a ditch and two pits were found in the southern trench, opposite the Covercroft Centre. The ditch was interpreted as a substantial boundary of medieval or Anglo-Saxon date. The pits were interpreted as structural features of historic but uncertain date. One of the pits also contained sherds from an Iron Age salt container. These remains and others found to the south and east suggest the survival of a multi-period site.
