Abstract:		 Archaeological investigations were undertaken on behalf of Mr and Mrs Burnside at The Willows, Upton Road, Hanley Swan, Worcestershire (NGR SO 824 427; HER ref WSM 38571). An area was stripped to form a new access road for The Willows and Owlgate Offices. To the south of an infilled pond the natural subsoil was exposed and medieval deposits were excavated. The presence of 13th and 14th century pottery within a cultivation or build up of soil and a possible dump of pottery within this layer suggests that occupation, albeit of an agricultural nature, was taking place on the site during this period. There are cropmarks of ridge and furrow to the east in Balcony Orchard and it is possible that this ridge and furrow continued westwards into the area of the site. To the east of the site a pottery kiln, which was in operation in the 15th and 16th centuries, has been excavated. Quantities of 15th -16th century pottery, including kiln waste, was also recovered from the cultivation layer reinforcing the theory that Hanley Swan was an important pottery production area during this period. The pit and gully excavated to the south of the pond probably date from the early post-medieval period and perhaps represent some sort of activity other than agricultural taking place in the vicinity of the site. The infilled pond could have originally been a marl extraction pit providing clay for the pottery industry. Two cat or dog burials situated close to each other were of a modern date.
