Abstract:		 An Archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Cotswold Oak Ltd at 90, Bretforton Road, Badsey, Worcestershire (NGR SP 0071 4376; HER ref. WSM 66253). The site lies on the eastern outskirts of the village of Badsey, upon a rolling lowland of rich clay soils and underlying mudstone. Previous archaeological investigations within Badsey have revealed the potential for both Iron Age and Roman remains (WSM 48205). An earlier rapid two trench evaluation had been undertaken on site, which found no archaeological features, and one residual sherd of medieval pottery, associated with the ridge and furrow (WSM 57537). Five trenches were excavated during this stage of investigations. The earliest identified archaeological remains were east to west orientated ridge and furrow, which although intrinsically undated, are considered to originate from the medieval/post-medieval periods. A pit was also identified, again undated, but considered to date from the 20th century. The site appears to have been agricultural in character with no evidence for any previous occupation activity. No artefacts or evidence for any pervious use of the site was found. This suggests that there was little or no occupation of the site that pre-dates the ridge and furrow, unless the ridge and furrow were to have truncated any ephemeral remains.
