Abstract:		 A programme of work was undertaken at Albion Cottages on the north side of Roberts End Street in Hanley Swan (NGR SO 8176 4293). The project was associated with a housing development, and aimed to establish whether significant remains were present. Previous research had shown that the area was a centre of pottery production between the 13th and 17th centuries. There was also a context for medieval settlement and agriculture. Four trenches were excavated around the cottages. The earliest evidence of activity was a sherd of 10th or 11th century Stamford ware. In the absence of other evidence, the sherd suggests manuring with domestic rubbish. It also implies that the medieval settlement at Hanley Swan (known as Roberts End) had Anglo-Saxon origins. No evidence of medieval settlement was found, nor any evidence of pottery production. However, field patterns shown on historic maps suggest that the area was cultivated in this period. Evidence for post-medieval enclosure was found in the form of a roadside ditch and bank, and a ditch on a different alignment to the north-east. A pit and a gully were also found behind the cottages, near the centre of the site. All of these features pre-date Parliamentary Enclosure in 1797. The ditches were probably backfilled when the cottages were built in the early 19th century.
