Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Evesham Town Council on land adjacent to Hampton Cemetery, Pershore Road, Evesham, Worcestershire (NGR SP 03004312; HER ref. WSM 33906). Three trenches were excavated, revealing that the medieval ridge and furrow earthworks visible on the north side of the site had been filled in and levelled in the late 20th century when the site was part of a larger recreation area. The ridge and furrow truncated the natural clay matrix to the south. To the north, toward the River Avon, a deep alluvial subsoil contained frequent abraded Roman pottery, occasional medieval pottery, a small quantity of butchered bone, and worked flint. A single small burning pit cut into the clay was sealed by the subsoil toward the riverbank. It contained tiny fragments of indeterminate possible Neolithic, Bronze or Iron Age pottery, worked flint potentially of Mesolithic, early Neolithic or Bronze Age date, pot-boilers and environmental material. It is conjectured to have been a cooking pit. The fuel used may represent burning of general food waste No other features were identified, although similar unstratified finds indicate that further activity of similar date may exist in the immediate vicinity.
