Abstract:		 Border Archaeology Ltd (BAL) was instructed by Alex Young Esq Trower Davies Ltd on behalf of Cardwell Hill Developments to undertake a programme of Archaeological Field Evaluation (AFE) in connection with the proposed development of Land off Witley Road Martley Worcestershire. No deposits or features of archaeological significance were encountered during the work. The northern part of the site slopes sharply to the south and this unfavourable topography, together with its outlying location with respect to the historic core of the settlement, suggest the site remained in agricultural use throughout. Berrow Hill, a small Iron Age hillfort located some 1.5km to the southwest of the site, represents the clearest evidence of later prehistoric activity in the area and, whilst there are indications of a possible field system associated with this site, no evidence for activity of this date was encountered during the evaluation. However, the discovery of a single sherd of probable Romano-British pottery (mid 2nd to 4th century AD), when considered within the context of other finds of this date from the area, including a Roman coin and pottery scatters, provides a further indication of some level of Romano-British activity in the vicinity of the site.
