Abstract: |
In July 2021, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation on land to the west of Station Road, Pershore, Worcestershire. A total of 59 trenches were excavated. Following the evaluation, a Strip, Map and Sample excavation was undertaken on a 0.45ha area of the site in October 2021. The evaluation and subsequent SMS excavation identified a small number of features concentrated in the north-eastern part of the site. These included a ditch, pits, postholes and a deposit of burnt stone. Dating evidence from the prehistoric, Roman and post-medieval periods was recovered but the date of the recorded features remains uncertain. A post-medieval boundary ditch and further undated ditch were also identified across the site.
