Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of HBG Construction Ltd at Bromsgrove North High School, School Drive, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire (NGR: SO 9656 7090; HER: WSM 34489). Three trenches were excavated on the playing field to the north of the existing school buildings. No significant archaeological features, structures or horizons were identified. Toward the south a very shallow soil profile was observed, whereas to the north deeper dump deposits were noted. Stray finds within the spoil comprised a small quantity of pottery, brick, tile and other debris, of a medieval and later date. It is considered that the site has been the subject of terracing to create the modern playing field. This would have involved the removal of soils on the south side down into the natural matrix, with the dumping of material to the north to raise the level. This would have disturbed or entirely removed all archaeological remains to the south but allowed the preservation of deposits to the north. However the total lack of features below the intact early 20th century soil to the north and the small quantity of residual finds generally indicates that the site has probably never been the subject of intensive activity beyond agricultural cultivation from the medieval period down to conversion as a football ground in the early 20th century and subsequently the construction of the present school buildings in the mid 20th century.
