Abstract:		 The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 240 trenches in the locations shown on the attached plan (Fig. 2). This comprised the excavation of 147 trenches measuring 50m in length and 93 trenches measuring 25m in length; all trenches measured 1.8m in width. The trenches were located to test geophysical anomalies and to provide a representative sample of the remainder of the site. The locations of Trenches 25, 26, 42, 100, 104, 126, 128 and 136 were altered during the course of the fieldwork due to the proximity of ecological constraints (tree and/or hedgerow root protection areas). Between September and November 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Roundhill Solar Farm, Inkberrow, Worcestershire. A total of 240 trenches were excavated. The evaluation identified three distinct areas of settlement activity, focused in the northwestern and north-eastern parts of the site. The settlement activity appears to have originated in the later Iron Age, represented by at least nine roundhouses located on a ridge of high ground in the north-east of the site. During the Early Roman period the focus of settlement appears to have shifted to lower ground to the north-west of the ridge. The majority of the datable pottery recovered from features is from local industries, with broad date ranges, and it is difficult to ascribe accurate phasing to the activity; however, it is possible to interpret the data as representing a focus of activity between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD, with reduced settlement continuing into the 4th century AD. Post-medieval and modern agricultural features were also recorded.
