Abstract:		 The evaluation comprised two trenches each located within the main areas of impact of the proposed development. Trench 1 was 15m long located at the western edge of the site orientated northeast-southwest whilst trench 2 was 30m long and aligned northwest-southwest long the northern edge of the site. Both trenches were excavated to a width of 1.50m. An archaeological evaluation was carried out during the former Whitehouse, Worcester Road, Wychbold, Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire, WR9 7PE in advance of residential development of the site comprising five new dwellings. The site fronted the current A38 which is the old Roman road and salt road between Droitwich and Bromsgrove and where evidence of roadside settlement could be expected. The excavations revealed a stratigraphy across the site consisting of a natural clay substrate overlain by an undated relict subsoil marking the earliest soil horizon, clay mottling within this layer is a probable indication of previous cultivation activities and suggests that the site lay outside the main focus of settlement and within the surrounding agricultural land. A series of modern linear features recorded within one of the trenches were likely related to garden activities. The results of the excavations confirm the documentary evidence which suggests little human activity within the site until the mid-C19 when the Wychbold Road became increasingly developed and Summerfield, later known as the Whitehouse was constructed.
