Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Severn Trent Water at Quarry Lane, Cleeve Prior, Worcestershire, (NGR ref SP 0791 4904 - SP 0844 4893; SMR ref WSM 34186). The watching brief was conducted during the removal of the topsoil, prior to the construction of a new haul road linking the B4085 and the Quarry Lane Sewerage Treatment Works. The area had moderate potential for the existence of important archaeology, being situated within an area that had in the past yielded substantial Roman finds, including the 'Sheppey Hoard'. The groundworks for the proposed development were observed and revealed that there appeared to be no earlier archaeological features of any significance. In the field adjacent to the B4085 two small charcoal filled pits, probably dating from the medieval period were uncovered, along with two shallow linears, both running in a north to south direction, and probably post-medieval in date. In the field to the west of Quarry Lane the medieval ridge and furrow cultivation marks, still visible as earthworks, were exposed. However, these were not excavated, implying that any unexposed archaeology would still be preserved in-situ. Metal artefacts from this area were from the post-medieval period. From both fields a small number of Roman and medieval pottery finds were discovered which were broadly consistent with a background scatter representing farming activity in the Roman and later periods. The occupation associated with this activity would be located elsewhere.
