Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at The Firs, off Old Road North, Kempsey, Worcestershire (NGR SO 8555 4952). It was undertaken on behalf of Speller Metcalfe Living Ltd, who intends to develop the site with residential housing for which a planning application has been submitted. Seven trenches were excavated, revealing evidence for the land's previous use as an orchard, and substantial levels of made ground probably associated with the adjacent modern buildings. No features, layers, structures or horizons of archaeological significance were discovered. A single worked flint end-scraper and a small assemblage of Roman pottery were recovered from subsoil. The Roman material is likely to be related to intensive settlement activity in the vicinity of the Main Road site (WSM 66555). No finds were associated with discrete archaeological features.
