Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at 3 Leasowes Court, Coach Drive, Fladbury, Worcestershire (NGR SO 99336 46306; HER WSM 69893). It was undertaken on behalf of Mr and Mrs Filmer and Anglian Home Improvements, who were constructing a conservatory. Planning permission was granted by Wychavon District Council, subject to conditions including a programme of archaeological works. The site lies on the western edge of Fladbury. The development was considered by Aidan Smyth, Archaeology and Planning Advisor for Wychavon District Council, to affect potential heritage assets due to the proximity of a cursus complex, recently discovered in the field to the west of the development site. It was advised that a watching brief was appropriate mitigation on groundworks associated with the development. Groundworks were monitored with a modern surfacing, made ground levelling and garden soils overlying natural sand and gravels recorded at 0.40m below the ground surface. The trenches were a maximum of 0.80m deep and were frequently cut by modern ceramic drains associated with the modern housing. No significant archaeology relating to the potential cursus monument or other later settlement activity found in the field to the west of the site was found during groundworks, suggesting that the ground was either raised or truncated in the 19th Century when the original farm buildings were constructed.
