Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation and subsequent excavation was undertaken at Harvington Flood Alleviation Scheme, Leys Road, Harvington, Worcestershire (NRG SP 0467 4965). The archaeological evaluation and excavation was undertaken on behalf of Wychavon District Council, who intends to undertake a flood alleviation scheme which involves the excavation of two balancing ponds and the creation of an adjacent bund. The investigations, although small in size, revealed a number of features that could be securely dated to the 1st to 3rd centuries AD. These included a number of ditches and gullies that formed a sequence of multi-phased enclosures and field boundaries. There were at least three enclosures, a number of linear boundary ditches and two discrete pits. Materials recovered from these features were typical of a Romano-British farmstead, although the presence of Roman roof tile fragments suggests a well-constructed, possibly stone-built, building in the immediate vicinity. The multi-phased nature of the site indicates a relatively stable agrarian settlement through the Roman period up until at least the 3rd century AD.
