Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Fibden Farm, Broad Alley, Hampton Lovett, Worcestershire (NGR SO 89326 67330). It was commissioned by Robert Needham, the landowner, in advance of the installation of three camping pods. Planning permission has been granted subject to a programme of archaeological works. The archaeological advisor to the local planning authority considered that the development had the potential to impact upon possible heritage assets. Previous metal detecting finds and investigations in the surrounding area of the site has identified Roman finds and settlement activity, including a Roman road. Archaeological monitoring comprised the observation of a trench for drainage and services to supply the camping pods, from woodland, across a farmyard and into an adjacent pasture field. The natural undisturbed substrate was observed throughout, 0.20-0.50m below the present ground surface, with a developed soil profile in the pasture field and the woodland. 20 th century made ground deposits were observed directly overlying the natural sands in the farmyard, demonstrating that this area had been reduced to the natural previously. The only finds observed were machine made brick from dumping activity in the field and modern refuse in the farmyard. No significant archaeological finds, features or deposits were observed during the groundworks, with no evidence of activity related to the Roman road or other activity in the area.
