Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land adjoining Laurels Rd, Offenham, Worcestershire (NGR SP 0559 4563; WSM 36113). It was undertaken on behalf of Rooftop Housing Group Ltd. They intend to construct six shared ownership houses and six bungalows for rental by elderly persons and has submitted a planning application has been submitted. The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological site was present and if so to indicate what its location, date and nature were, and more specifically to determine if remains existed relating to Romano-British activity identified during the gravel quarrying in the late 19th century thought to be to the immediate west of the present site. The results revealed no evidence of Romano-British activity on the site, nor remains from the prehistoric period. The features identified date to the 19th to 20th centuries, including several pits and a series of plough marks, which are considered to be related to market gardening or other agricultural activities. This is supported by datable artefactual materials within one pit, some plough marks and the subsoil deposit, which also contained occasional residual medieval and post-medieval material. Otherwise no significant archaeological structures, horizons or deposits were identified, nor artefacts recovered. Therefore the potential for any significant archaeological deposits within the site is considered to be low.
