Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Land off West End Lane, Broadway. It was commissioned by the Environment Agency in advance of a proposed flood alleviation scheme for which a planning application will be submitted. Twelve evaluation trenches were excavated to test a number of potential archaeological features which had been identified through cropmark evidence and by a geophysical survey of the site, as well as the archaeological potential of other areas of the site. The evaluation demonstrated the good survival of the features represented by the cropmarks and geophysical survey, which largely comprise negative features cut into the natural substrate generally at a shallow depth. The most complex archaeology was identified in the central part of the site where a series of enclosures and other features survive. Most of the features relating to the enclosures were dated to the Iron Age although some Roman material was also found, suggesting that the settlement may have been founded during the Iron Age but continued after the Roman invasion. To the north-east of the enclosures a layer, possibly alluvial in origin, was identified containing a small number of Mesolithic and Early Neolithic flints. This layer was cut by a palaeochannel and other features which contained pottery dating to the 11th to 13th centuries AD. This medieval material is of interest as it appears to pre-date the establishment of Abbot's Grange and the planned settlement at Broadway.
