Abstract:		 A watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Severn Trench Water Ltd. on land off Baughton Lane, Lower Strensham, Worcestershire (NGR: SO 9013 4082; WSM 31921). Within the field the topsoil lay over a very thin subsoil horizon which in turn lay directly over the natural matrix. The lack of a well-defined subsoil within the field indicates that deep ploughing had probably taken place. Within the modern road the underlying hardcore was observed to lie directly over the natural clay, and no archaeological remains were observed here. All the datable finds were of post-medieval and modern origin. Brick and tile fragments predominated and they were generally in an abraded state, indicating that they were not recovered from their primary context of deposition. They are probably the result of manuring and intensive ploughing of the field in the post-medieval period. There was no indication of ridge and furrow. A single post-medieval pit was identified, containing the articulated skeleton of a cow. Although the skull was not recovered, it had no signs of having been butchered. In conclusion, the absence of finds predating the post-medieval period indicate that this area has, in all probability, never been occupied for settlement purposes, or otherwise utilised, except for agriculture.
