Abstract:		 A series of archaeological investigations were undertaken on land to the west of Cheltenham Road, Evesham, Worcestershire (NGR SP 0309 4254). It was undertaken on behalf of Evesham United Football Club. A new stadium is to be built which includes pitches, clubhouse, stands, enclosure, car parking and associated works for which a planning application has been submitted. The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological site was present and if so to indicate what its location, date and nature were. In the area of the Club House and East Stand a 1,024m area was excavated to a maximum depth of 0.40m which exposed the natural matrix across the full strip. Two postholes of prehistoric date were identified, one of which contained pottery of Early Bronze Age date. Traces of post-medieval ridge and furrow and one tree throw were also exposed. No other archaeological features were observed, although a small quantity of residual finds of Roman date were recovered. The car park areas and the North Stand were monitored, but limited impact was made with a maximum of 0.22m of topsoil removed which did not expose the subsoil/natural matrix below. However stanchions for the North Stand were excavated to a maximum of 0.75m which revealed the subsoil and natural sandy gravels. Although no features were identified, residual finds were recovered from the subsoil probably due to ploughing in the post-medieval period. The Roman residual finds recovered may be associated with the Roman activity discovered during the previous evaluation on site and the cropmark evidence adjacent. The evidence for well stratified Bronze Age finds and features is of interest in the wider scope of adjacent undated cropmark sites and indicates that the area was occupied over a long period of time.
