Abstract:		 The research has found that the proposed development site lies in an area of Palaeolithic potential based on local geologies and discoveries from the area. It seems that it remained in agricultural use throughout the medieval and post medieval periods. In the early 20th century, the land was segregated into large allotment plots, and a commercial business utilised the north-westernmost of these. The construction of the western bypass of Worcester has affected the setting of the site, and it appears to have been abandoned post 2013, since becoming heavily overgrown. Three former field boundaries are known from within the proposed development site, shown on 1840 mapping and these may require archaeological mitigation through design or recording, especially since one may survive as a partial hedgerow. Also known to have existed within the proposed development site are two former tracks and boundaries and allotment buildings relating to early 20th century and subsequent use of the site. The remains of two of these buildings may still survive. There is also the possibility that as-yet unknown archaeological features may survive within the proposed development site, possibly in the form of organic remains within alluvial deposits known to exist within the floodplain of the Laugherne Brook, as evidenced by previous archaeological work. These previous works did not, however, find any such remains, and the Romano-British finds they encountered were thought to be the result of manuring
