Abstract:		 An archaeological recording project was undertaken on behalf of Posting House Properties Ltd at Coneygree Cottage, School Bank, Ombersley, Worcestershire (NGR 20 8461 6372; WSM 32192). The results of the building survey and watching bried indicate that the cottage was first constructed in the mid 17th century. The location of the cottage within an intentional terrace is unusual, especially given the fact that the extracted stone has not been incorporated into the main build of the property itself. There is no documentary evidence to suggest that the land was formerly used as a quarry, however the nature of the cut and the area of extraction does imply that a large quantity of sandstone was removed. There is no evidence of such landscaping in any of the properties adjacent to the site. The explanation for this terrace remains unclear. The presence of three intentional wel-constructed openings within the east gable end has been interpreted as the remains of external bread ovens, which would have been covered by the fill within the cutting. Any such external features were removed during the modern period (18th-19th century) during which time the openings were also blocked. The number of openings strongly indicates that the ovens were being used at a 'cottage industry' scale rather than the domestic, as such the building may have been constructed as a bakery, which remained in use until the 18th- early 19th century.
