Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land adjacent to Bengeworth First School, (NGR SP 0480 4414), Bengeworth, Evesham, Worcestershire, on behalf of Property Services, Worcestershire County Council. The Client intends to construct a school and has submitted a planning application to Worcestershire County Council. This report on an archaeological evaluation describes and assesses the significance of a heritage asset with archaeological interest potentially affected by the application. The impact of the application on the significance is assessed. Nine trenches were excavated of which five revealed archaeological features. Two areas of prehistoric settlement were identified spanning the Early Bronze Age through to the Iron Age. Bronze Age settlement is characterised by postholes and ditches to the north-east of the site whilst Iron Age activity is apparent in the form of ditches, one of which probably forms part of an enclosure, to the south-west. The evaluation produced only small quantities of artefacts but these were well stratified. The Bronze Age archaeology excavated on the site is a relatively rare heritage asset and the site has potential for archaeological research. Although the evaluation only identified one feature that can be definitely dated this period, other features in the vicinity of this dateable feature are likely to be contemporary. Although Iron Age settlement is relatively common in the area of the Avon Valley, further identification and excavation of site types can provide valuable information about their form and character.
