Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Three Springs Road, Pershore, Worcestershire (NGR SO 937 454)). It was undertaken on behalf of Bloor Homes, who requested the works in advance of submission of a planning application to Wychavon District Council for a residential development comprising of about 150 dwellings. The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological site was present and if so to indicate what its location, date and nature were. Twenty five trenches were excavated across the site. Four trenches contained archaeologically significant features. The features consisted of ditches, gullies and pits. The main activity area was situated in the central southern part of the site with a smaller concentration of features in the northern part of the site. The ditches and pits excavated are part of a settlement occupied from probably the Late Iron Age in to the 3rd century. The settlement was comprised of enclosures, field boundaries and pits. One of the pits was probably a rubbish pit. The focus of the settlement was probably situated outside of the site to the south-west where earlier archaeological investigations have revealed a dense number of features delineating an enclosed settlement. It is likely that features identified in this project are part of this settlement, perhaps on the edge of it. These remains are considered to be of local significance. The earthworks and buried remains on the site indicating ridge and furrow, almost certainly date from the medieval period and continue into the post-medieval period. These are probably part of the open field system surrounding Pershore in the medieval period.
