Abstract:		 The main aim of the evaluation was to determine if there were any significant archaeological remains in the area of development, to form an understanding of their value and their potential to shed light on the subsequent development of the Alcester area. Secondary aims included placing the results in their wider local and regional contexts as appropriate. The objective was to locate, record and analyse archaeological materials and deposits and to disseminate the results in an appropriate format. One trench was opened up by a 3 tonne, 360° excavator. The excavator used a 1.20m wide, toothless ditching bucket but trench was widened to 1.70m. Topsoil and other plough soils were removed under the supervision of an experienced archaeologist until either the top of archaeological remains or geological natural was reached. The trench was 7.5m long and aligned N-S. Geological natural, mixed red and yellow clay and gravel (1), was reached at a depth of 0.83m below the modern ground surface. The natural was overlaid by 0.40m of brownish yellow clay loam (2). This was overlain by 0.43m of very dark grey clay loam topsoil (100). Nothing of archaeological significance was found in this trench. The evaluation established that the proposed new dwelling is highly unlikely to impact on anything of archaeological significance.
