Abstract:		 The Site lies within land immediately south of Post Office Lane, with residential housing to the west, a thin stretch of woodland to the east and farmland to the south. The Site is currently in use as arable land and paddocks. The Site has been subject to a Desk Based Assesment (DBA, CgMs 2014) and a geophysical survey (Stratascan 2014). The DBA identified that a potential former Roman road ran along the line of Post Office Lane, although little other significant heritage assests or archaeological remains were close to the Site, other than those within the historic core of the village of Kempsey. The Site was postulated as being in agricultural use at the edge of the village. The geophysical survey of the Site produced little evidnce for archaeological remains. Following discussions between Mike Glyde of Worcestershire County Council (WCC) and Cathy Patrick (CgMs), a programme of archaeological evaluation trenching was programmed. A total of nine trenches were excavated. The trenches targeted geophysical anomalies as well as blank areas to test the interpretation and location of the anomalies. Out of the nine trenches, two produced archaeology - a former hedge row aligning with a linear geophysical anomaly in Trench 1 and a former field boundary dating to the Post-medieval period. The features identified in the trenches corresponded with geophysical anomalies, with no features identified through trenching that were not recorded through the geophysical survey. The evaluation suggests that the Site does not contain significant archaeological remains and that the geophysical survey is accurate and representative of the lack of archaeological remains within the Site.
