Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at the location of Henwick Mill on the north side of the B4204 Martley Road, Broadheath, Worcestershire. It was commissioned by Selbourne Homes Limited who intends to redevelop the site with residential properties. The proposed development site includes the extant remains of part of Henwick Mill and as a result is considered to include a heritage asset with archaeological interest, the significance of which may be affected by the application. Henwick Mill is a 19th century (and probably much earlier) water mill and possible iron works recorded on Ordnance Survey mapping from the 1st edition (1887) until 1954, before demolition in the 1960s. Two trenches were excavated on the site, targeted on the area of the mill complex. It was clear from the post-medieval structural remains revealed that the mill buildings in this area have survived in an excellent condition and across an extensive area, with multiple phases of building in evidence. This demonstrates the preservation of much of Henwick Mill as buried remains alongside the known upstanding structures previously observed during a walk over of the site to survive immediately adjacent to the Laughern Brook. A number of different types of worn millstone were found and these suggested that, at least in the later post-medieval period if not earlier, the mill was being used for processing cereal foodstuffs. There remains the potential for earlier structures and deposits to exist beneath the post-medieval mill complex buildings, although none were revealed in the trenches. This was primarily a result of the depth at which complex structural deposits were encountered, thus preventing deeper excavation, but also due to the limitations caused by hydrocarbon contamination discovered on the site, which restricted more thorough exploration.
