Abstract:		 A series of archaeological evaluations were undertaken in Broadwas, Worcestershire; of land adjacent to Broadwas C of E Primary School, south of Stoney Ley Farm and Church Lane Field (NGR: SO 7587 5519, SO 7600 5520 and SO 75615 25520 respectively). It was commissioned by the Historic Environment Consultancy on behalf of their client, who intends to construct a number of residential properties with associated services for which two planning applications have been submitted to Malvern Hills District Council. A wide ditch with a 90° return was revealed, orientated south-west to north-east and north-west, to south-east toward the northern end of Church Lane Field. It is postulated to form an enclosure, although is undated. Other features within the field were determined to be drainage ditches, ridge and furrow and a field boundary, all of post-medieval or modern origin, relating to agricultural activity. Adjacent to the school there was evidence of the orchard use of the field in the early 19 h century, but no other archaeological features or deposits were noted, and no evidence was revealed to suggest that any earlier occupation or activity had occurred. At Stoney Ley Farm, the site appeared to have been divided in two by a boundary ditch. To the west were a number of linears and a large pit indicative of domestic occupation; to the east a field with ridge and furrow. The relatively large quantity of abraded medieval domestic pottery associated with the western features is considered to relate to food preparation on the site rather than discard during manuring. It is broadly dated to the late 11th- 14th century, although may be as narrow as 12th-13 h century.
