Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken of Plot 32 South Worcester, Worcester Road, Broomhall, Worcestershire (centred on NGR SO 8527 5098). The archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of The Environmental Dimension Partnership, whose client, Welbeck Strategic Land LLP, intends to develop the site as part of the wider South Worcester scheme, for which a planning application will be submitted to Malvern Hills District Council and Worcester City Council. This report on an archaeological evaluation describes and assesses the significance of a heritage asset with archaeological interest potentially affected by the application. The impact of the application on the significance is assessed. The evaluation revealed evidence of extensive Roman activity, which confirms and expands upon the findings of the geophysical survey. This identified a series of conjoined rectilinear enclosures arranged around the junction of a route way aligned south-south-west to northnorth- east along the east side and a secondary track aligned perpendicular to the west. A Roman occupation horizon was observed, which appears to cover much of the western and central portion of the site and partially into the south-east corner (Trenches 4-6, 8-10). Features were both cut into and lay within this horizon, and comprised pits, postholes, ditches and gullies, a sample of which were excavated. Analysis of the occupation horizon indicates a long period of accumulation, rather than distinct phases of dumping or occupation.
