Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in March 2013 across land off Three Springs Road in Pershore, Worcestershire. It was commissioned by Guy Wakefield of Hunter Page Planning acting on behalf of Bloor Homes Limited who initiated a pre-application enquiry regarding a proposed residential development with associated access roads and utilities on the site. Six trenches of varying size, in total covering just over 411m², were excavated across the site area in order to asses the impact of the development proposals on a potential archaeological site. Across the excavated trenches the archaeological remains observed suggest that this site occupies an area of Romano-British activity in close proximity to a rural settlement, with a later medieval and post-medieval agricultural landscape overlying this. The Roman period features appeared to be focused in the eastern half of the site and a number contained a large amount of domestic pottery waste. It is therefore probable that the site is on the western edge of extensive occupational activity observed during previous work in an adjacent field. As the Roman deposits are likely to be related to nearby settlement activity these could potentially have local significance in improving the understanding of the extent and nature of Romano-British rural occupation both in the surrounding area and the county of Worcestershire.
