Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out during November 2019 at Rashwood Hill, Rashwood, Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire, WR90BS as part of an application for the conversion of an existing agricultural barn to commercial use. The proposed development lies within an area of archaeological potential, immediately east of the site is the current A38 Road which is a former Roman road from Droitwich to Bromsgrove. There is currently little historical or archaeological evidence to indicate when the small settlement at Rashwood originated, but stray finds from within the area of the site suggest it may have started out during the medieval period, possibly as a satellite of Wychbold which was the chief manor at the time of Domesday. The development of Rashwood strung out as a ribbon development along the Roman road appears to have been influenced by its location along the Roman road between Droitwich and Bromsgrove where two lesser roads converge, one from Rashwood Farm in the southeast and another connecting with Wychbold Hall to the northeast. The results of the field investigation were negative, the stratigraphic sequence of deposits recorded comprised clay overlain by a layer of undated relict subsoil and more recent topsoil. The evidence suggests an earlier open rural environment sloping gently towards the Salwarpe with little human activity and the lack of any residual finds supports this interpretation.
