Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Mansfield Road, Yardley, Birmingham (NGR SP 12310 84335). It was undertaken on behalf of Galliford Try Ltd, who have obtained planning permission from Birmingham City Council for the construction of 16 dwellings on the site as well as conversion of Pinfold House Barn. An historic building assessment of Pinfold House and barn suggested that small scale settlement at Pinfold would have been present since at least the 17th Century and the project aimed to determine, if possible, the extent and date of this settlement as well as to examine evidence for economic activity, environmental conditions and industrial or craft activity in the area. Two features were recorded, both of post-medieval date. Close to the southern boundary of the site the robbed-out foundation of a probable 18th century wall was recorded, constructed from dressed sandstone blocks and bricks. It is possible that the dressed limestone blocks came from an earlier phase of Pinfold House which was altered in the 17th and 18th Centuries. On the northern side of the site adjacent to Mansfield Road a bedding trench was recorded which may have been a garden feature or may represent commercial horticultural activity.
