Abstract:		 The fieldwork comprised the excavation of an area measuring approximately 0.19ha in extent, in the location shown on the attached plan, and followed the methodology set out within the WSI (CA 2022). The location of the excavation area was agreed with Mr. Smyth and was informed by the results of the preceding trial-trench evaluation. In September 2022 Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological excavation of land off of Offenham Road, Evesham, Worcestershire. The excavation area was located in the north-western part of the development area and was targeted upon features identified during a preceding archaeological evaluation. A pit containing small fragments of ceramic building material of post-medieval/modern date was revealed in the central part of the stripped area. This feature was previously identified during the preceding archaeological evaluation and found to contain pottery of Anglo-Saxon (c. 5th to 8th century AD) date. A rectangular pit, containing postholes at its edges, was revealed nearby. Although similar in form to known sunken-featured buildings (SFBs) of Anglo-Saxon date, its small size and the presence of artefactual material of medieval, post-medieval and modern date within its upper fill suggest that it may represent a later feature, although the possibility that the artefactual material is intrusive within an earlier feature cannot be entirely discounted. Further dispersed, and artefactually undated, pits and postholes were identified during the current works, although their function remains unclear. A large irregular quarry/extraction pit and a ditch, both of which remained artefactually undated, were identified in the southern part of the stripped area.
