Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological fieldwalking was undertaken at land to the West of Station Road, Worcestershire (NGR SO 94780 47300). It was undertaken on behalf of CgMs Consulting, acting for Persimmon Homes, South Midlands, who intend to develop land to the west of Station Road Pershore and for which outline planning consent was granted by Wychavon District Council (W/14/0219) in December 2014. Permission was granted subject to conditions including a programme of archaeological works. Fieldwalking was undertaken by walking transects, spaced 20m apart and orientated approximately NNW-SSE along the general long axis of the site. Transects were laid out using a Leica netrover GPS and divided into 20m stints. Finds were collected from a strip 1m either side of the transect line. The assemblage recovered largely comprised pottery and ceramic building material of Roman, medieval, post-medieval and modern date, with the majority being of post-medieval and modern date. Of the earlier material, several abraded sherds of Roman Severn Valley Ware of mid-1st to 4th century date were identified. This is likely to reflect a background scatter from Roman agricultural activity in the area. The medieval and early post-medieval material largely comprised abraded sherds of 13th to early 17th century date, and fragments of ceramic roof tile. One fragment of a 13th - 14th century encaustic floor tile was recovered which is likely to have come from a high status ecclesiastical building. Stints from which pre-1600 material was recovered was mapped and although there material was largely from the eastern part of the site, there is no clear pattern of distribution apart from some loose clusters. It is concluded that the fieldwalking exercise did not identify clear areas of archaeological activity, rather patterns of agricultural activity, in particular manuring.
