Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in July 2010 at Copcut Lane, Droitwich, Worcestershire. Twenty three trenches and two test pits were excavated in four areas (A-D). The evaluation has identified a number of archaeological features within the proposed development area. The majority of these features were concentrated within Areas A and B with some survival of truncated ridge and furrow within Area C. Limited evidence for prehistoric activity was recovered in the form of Early-Middle Bronze Age pottery from the ploughsoil in Area A, and a small pit containing probable prehistoric pottery in Area B. Two ditches dating to the Roman period were excavated within Area B and may form part of a field system. A further ditch in Area B contained early-mid Saxon pottery. Evidence for medieval activity was limited to truncated ridge and furrow in Area C. Post-medieval ceramic building material was recovered from a ditch in Area C that is probably shown on the 19th century enclosure map. Undated ditches and pits were excavated across Areas A and B with a clear concentration of features within Area B.
