Abstract:		 Archaeological investigations were undertaken in two areas at Earl's Court Farm, Bromyard Road, Dine's Green, Worcester. There was a background scatter of prehistoric worked flint and Roman (and possibly mid Saxon) pottery, but the earliest dated structural remains were late Saxon. At the south end of the site there was a small farmstead, established alongside an Anglo-Saxon Stræt, which consisted of small enclosures, possibly paddocks, and four buildings (Structures 1-4). Started by the late Saxon period it was occupied through into the medieval period, with some seven phases of activity identified, of which only one (Phase 2e) could be more precisely dated, to the 12th-early 13th centuries (including Structure 3). Most of the site features seem to respect each other, and are often realignments or re-cuts of the earlier ditches, indicating that the earlier features remained visible in the landscape throughout the occupation period. The buildings have evidence of repair or rebuilding. Although of apparent low status (i.e. small building size and minimal material culture), its location adjacent to Earl's Court Farm moated site indicates that it may have been connected with a higher status function. Generally no positive features were identified with the farmstead, such as floor surfaces, hearths or walls, the exception being Structure 2, where possible spreads of material were recorded. Elsewhere across the site there were just shallow post-medieval and modern linear ditches of low significance.
