Abstract:		 An evaluation and historic building assessment was undertaken on behalf of Mr. J Simons at Newlands Farm, Salwarpe, Worcestershire (NGR SO 902 602; SMR ref 1007). The farmhouse and farm buildings were assessed and found to contain several construction phases, the earliest of which dates to the late 17th/ early18th century. To the north of the existing farm buildings previous work had identified an extensive area of earthworks as a DMV interrupted by' disturbance' immediately north of the barns. The evaluation principally confined to the area of disturbance and with the exception of trench 5, did not impinge on the earthworks. The evaluation identified this 'disturbance' as noted in 1977 as post-medieval consolidation material intentionally laid as a dry/hard working area to the north of the barns at the time of their construction. The evaluation did not identify any features or artifactual assemblage predating the post-medieval period. Furthermore there was no evidence of the stratigraphic relationship between the post-medieval deposits recorded during the evaluation and the earthworks. The virtual absence of any medieval finds does call into question the accepted interpretation of the earthworks as a DMV. The underlying geology of the site and the comments of previous tenants at the farm has suggested that the earthworks may represent the remains of post-medieval industrial activity in the form of brine extraction and salt production. However as the main area of the earthworks were not part of the evaluated area no conclusive evidence is yet available to explain the very prominent earthworks which survive in this vicinity.
