Abstract:		 A series of archaeological works was undertaken at Bleak House Farm, Wythall, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire (NGR: SP 08592 75538). The works were commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of their client JJ Gallagher, who have outline planning permission for 178 residential properties with associated open space, surface water attenuation pond and associated works. The works were undertaken to assess whether there was any evidence for medieval settlement activity extending from the moat platform. Two areas either side of the moat were stripped of topsoil to the top of natural deposits and an additional evaluation trench was opened in the southwest corner of the proposed development. The investigations revealed the truncated remains of ridge and furrow, No features of archaeological significance were revealed. A substantial north to south ditch of Victorian/Edwardian date was revealed during remediation works beneath the modern concrete farm yard. The location, profile and defuse fill of this feature suggest that it would have formed the eastern arm of the former moat and, had been re-excavated at some point prior to the late 18th century, removing any trace of the earlier feature or associate deposits. A second smaller ditch was noted on the same alignment in the centre of the former moat platform.
