Abstract:		 An evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Michael, Janette and Josephine Terry at Upper Hollowfields Farm, Hanbury, Worcestershire (NGR SO 97113 61327). The project was intended as a rapid research evaluation in support of the farm's ongoing management under Higher Level Stewardship and aimed to determine if any significant archaeological deposits, associated with an historic road, were present in parcels SO97611646 and SO97610351. A linear earthwork, believed to be associated with the raised agger of a road, was identified in the orchard to the north east of Upper Hollowfields Farm. Three 6 - 7 m x 0.8 m trenches were excavated. Trenches 1 and 2 were located to the northeast of the farmhouse, along the potential raised agger. Trench 3 was located to the north west of the farmhouse, along the conjectural line of a Roman Road. Archaeological deposits, believed to be associated with a post medieval road, were uncovered in trenches 1 and 2. No features or deposits of archaeological significance were discovered in trench 3. The size and engineering of the surface, as well as the presence of wheel ruts in Trench 1, suggests that, during the post medieval period, the road was used by vehicle as well as foot traffic. The road potentially dates to the 18th century and may have been constructed around the same time as the extant farmhouse and farm buildings. The route may have been part of an earlier network of trackways linking settlements associated with the Manor of Holeway and the Manor of Park Hall. Further investigation is required to investigate possible medieval or earlier layers.
