Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken at Bewdley High School and Sixth Form Centre, Stourport Road, Bewdley, Worcestershire (NGR SO 7935 7494; HER WSM 57459). It was undertaken on behalf of Property Services, Worcestershire County Council, who intended to build a new two storey science block, for which a planning application has been submitted. The project commenced with evaluation trenching, which found an Iron Age storage pit and two associated postholes. A larger area focussed around the concentration of Iron Age material was excavated covering an area of approximately 35% of the size of the new building. Only modern disturbance, natural rooting, bioturbation and services were, however, observed. The Iron Age pit and associated postholes contained briquetage (Iron Age and early Roman coarse pottery associated with salt production from Droitwich) and abundant fire-cracked stone. This and the absence of Roman pottery suggested an Iron Age date. Though only a small area was excavated focussed on the site of a new building, it is likely that these features are not isolated and that perhaps there is settlement of this date in the vicinity.
