Abstract:		 A archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Mrs J Garnert at Manor Farm, Peason Lane, Eckington, Worcestershire (NGR SO 9196 4163; HER ref WSM 43243). One trench was excavated within the footprint of the proposed building. Due to health and safety reasons significant archaeology or the natural substrata was only reached in two sondages, greater than 1.40m below the current surface. Three postholes, one pit and a cultivation/earlier soil horizon were tentatively dated to the Romano-British period. However, the features were not hand excavated and it is possible that they are later features or disturbance when two land drains were excavated probably in the early 20th century. Archaeological investigations to the east identified a Romano-British settlement and it is possible that the soil horizon excavated was associated with this settlement. The focus of activity for this period seems to be situated to the east or north-east of the site and perhaps this area was just used for agricultural purposes outside of the main settlement. However, if the features identified are indeed of Romano-British date then they could represent a more intense level of activity here. A post-medieval soil horizon was seen all over the trench which in turn underlay a thick rubble deposit which is believed to be the remains of Eckington Railway Station which was demolished sometime between 1970 and 1972 and brought onto the site to level the area. It is difficult to assess the significance of the site as the evaluation was on such a small scale. However, it can be suggested that the potential for archaeological research from the results is limited.
