Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Pershore Town Council at the field adjacent to Pershore Cemetery, Defford Road, Pershore, Worcestershire (NGR SO 9370 4530; HER ref WSM 67184). Natural deposits were only exposed within the deeper excavations for the car park entrances and drainage service trenches. Elsewhere the natural geology was not exposed. No significant archaeological deposits or features were encountered, with a small assemblage of residual artefactual material recovered from topsoil and subsoil deposits. This largely comprised heavily abraded Roman and medieval pottery, and medieval to early postmedieval tile, including abraded and heavily-worn fragments of medieval decorated floor tile. These latter are of note, as they do not appear to be of Worcester or Malvern fabrics, so differ from those recorded at Pershore Abbey.
