Abstract:		 An archaeological investigation as undertaken of land east of Main Road, Kempsey, Worcestershire (NGR SO 8553 4987). It was undertaken on behalf of Lioncourt Homes, in advance of housing development for which a planning application has been submitted. An evaluation was conducted, comprising of 19 trenches. Following this an excavation was undertaken, targeting three areas of archaeological interest. On the western side of the site, Area 1 contained the north-eastern portion of a Romano-British enclosure, comprised of three concentric ditches. The activity was dated to between the 1st to early 3rd century AD, and contained no definite evidence for internal structures. A related droveway ran down the slope to the south-east. This droveway was also present in Area 2, on the eastern side of the site, along with a medieval field system, with post-medieval reworking. Area 3 was a small area in the south of the site, in which was discovered a number of shallow medieval and post-medieval pits and ditches. Finds spanned the prehistoric through to the post-medieval. The worked flint assemblage, though small and residual, is consistent with Neolithic to Early Bronze Age occupation and domestic activity in the vicinity of the site.
