Abstract:		 An evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Worcestershire County Council on land at Earls Court Farm, Rushwick (NGR: SO 8200 5470; SMR ref WSM 31973), as part of a planning condition required for the construction of a new high school. The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological site was present and to identify its nature, location and date. The project was undertaken in three stages: a desk-based assessment, a walkover survey, and a sample trench evaluation. Twenty three sample trenches were opened. The walkover survey identified the course of the Holloway, and a linear depression on the west side of the site, showing on earlier maps as a pond. Two of the sample trenches were positioned over the Holloway. Other trenches were positioned either side of the dogleg along the track and randomly across the site. No finds were recovered so the trackway is still undated. All other disturbances to the natural clays and gravels were determined to be of natural, post-medieval or modern origin. There were no other archaeological features, and all finds were residual. Two heavily abraded sherds of indeterminate Roman pottery were recovered from the western side of the site. All remaining finds were of post-medieval and modern origin. The lack of medieval finds and features is surprising given the adjacent site. The level of topsoil and subsoil generally was noted to be shallow, probably the result of erosion during agricultural use. There was no indication of ridge and furrow within any of the trenches.
