Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology between July and August 2009 on land between Strensham, Worcestershire and Knightsbridge, Gloucestershire. A total of 88 trenches was excavated. Archaeological activity represented by cut features and artefacts dating from the Bronze Age to the modern period was represented. A single Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age ditch was the earliest activity identified. At least four possible settlement sites dating to the late prehistoric period were also identified, represented by trackways, enclosure ditches and two possible roundhouses indicated by a preceding geophysical survey. The evaluation also established that Roman activity, continuing into the 4th century AD, was present in the form of enclosures, field ditches and pits on three of the sites where late prehistoric settlement has been identified. Evidence for medieval, post-medieval and/or modern agricultural practice, comprising field boundary ditches, furrows and field drains, was also identified along the route of the evaluation. An undated possible grave cut was also identified. The evaluation indicates that deposits dating from the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman and medieval periods, together with undated features, some of which pre-date the medieval/post-medieval ridge and furrow cultivation, survive at a depth of between 0.3m and 0.65m below the modern ground surface.
