Abstract:		 In April 2011, the Field Section of the Worcestershire Historic Environment and Archaeology Service were commissioned by CgMs Consulting to evaluate land east of Brockhill Lane, Redditch (NGR SP 0328 6847; WSM 45756). The evaluation was associated with the first phase of a proposed mixed use development. The evaluation involved fieldwork and post-fieldwork analysis. The fieldwork involved systematic trenching across the development site and subsequent excavation and recording. The post-fieldwork analyses covered stratigraphy, artefacts, and charred plant remains. The evaluation identified the ditches of an Iron Age enclosure in the south-west of the development site, above the Red Brook from which Redditch takes its name. The enclosure is the first Iron Age site to have been found in the area and the only site of its type in the district. Finds from the enclosure ditch included pottery from salt containers made in Droitwich and stones that were used in cooking or brewing. Some undated features were also identified, including a ditch, two gullies, a pit, and seven postholes. Some of these features were probably contemporary with the enclosure but two postholes, which cut the ditch, were certainly later. No evidence was found relating to Roman or medieval land-use with the possible exception of parallel furrows which could be medieval.
