Abstract:		 Archaeological investigations were undertaken at Spring Hill Farm, Evesham Road, Lower Moor, Fladbury, Worcestershire (NGR SO 9887 4703). They were carried out on behalf of Spring Hill Farms (Pershore) Ltd, who intend to develop the site with a glasshouse, lagoon, access track and associated works, for which a planning application was submitted. The project aimed to record any archaeological deposits within the area of the lagoon, and to carry out a watching brief on all groundworks within the area of the archaeological exclusion zone. The lagoon excavation revealed a field boundary ditch aligned approximately north to south which has been tentatively dated to the Roman period as the fill produced one sherd of abraded Roman pottery. The focus for the Roman settlement appears to have been situated to the west of the excavation area, within the exclusion zone and the SAM. The area of the lagoon may have been utilised for associated agricultural activities. The modern field boundary adjacent can be traced back to the late 18th century as it is shown on the Inclosure map. It is possible that the Roman ditch is a precursor to the current boundary which has remained fossilized within the landscape throughout this time. Two irregular pit features situated at the west end of the excavation area may date from the Bronze Age to Roman period and be associated with theadjacent enclosures, although they were intrinsically undated. Deposits identified within four auger holes may relate to features associated with these enclosures. A series of plough furrows were dated to the post-medieval period, although they may have medieval origins. Features interpreted as the remains of tree boles were frequent across the excavation area and are considered to date from the mid/late 20th century.
