Abstract:		 An archaeological programme of fieldwalking was undertaken at land to the West of Station Road, Worcestershire (NGR 394780 247300). It was undertaken on behalf of CgMs Consulting, acting for Persimmon Homes, South Midlands, who intend to develop land to the west of Station Road Pershore for which outline planning consent was granted by Wychavon District Council (W/13/01655) in December 2014. Fieldwalking was undertaken by walking transects, spaced 20m apart and orientated approximately NNW-SSE along the general long axis of the site. Transects were laid out using a Leica netrover GPS and divided into 20m stints. Finds were collected from a strip 1m either side of the transect line. With the exception of one Roman tile fragment the material was dated to the medieval and post-medieval periods, largely comprising pottery and ceramic building material, including a fragment of 13th - 14th century decorated floor tile and a copper alloy George II halfpenny, dated 1736. The assemblage recovered is indicative of agricultural activity, specifically the incorporation of artefactual material into the soil through the process of manuring across the site area, from the Roman period onwards. The abraded condition and small sherd size of the artefacts reflects their residual nature. The material is not thought likely to have derived from archaeological deposits within the site area, but rather to reflect domestic occupation within the local area, although the possibility that sealed archaeological deposits are present beneath the ploughsoil cannot be discounted on the evidence from a surface collection survey alone.
