Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land south of the A46, Evesham, Worcestershire (centred on NGR 403800, 241600). The project was commissioned by St. Modwen Properties PLC with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features in support of an outline planning application for the proposed further expansion of business development at Vale Business Park, Evesham, to be submitted to Wychavon District Council. The site comprises arable fields located to the south and east of the A46, covering an area of 21.8 ha. The geophysical survey was undertaken between 7th and 22nd September 2015. The detailed gradiometer survey has demonstrated the presence of a number of anomalies of potential archaeological with particular concentrations within the eastern field and westernmost area of the site. Multiple phases of archaeological remains are thought to be present in the form of ditches, pits, postholes, some of which are thought to represent possible roundhouses and possible co-axial and ladder enclosures. These suggest at least two areas of settlement, possibly separated by a Roman road, most likely dating to the Iron Age or Romano-British period. Further, evidence suggesting the Scheduled Monument recorded as a Romano-British roadside settlement to the south of the site continues through the site. Additionally, this archaeological investigation has detected former field boundaries, a possible trackway, areas of increased magnetic response and evidence for historic cultivation.
