Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at BTR land, Brockhill East, Redditch, Worcestershire. It was commissioned by Persimmon Homes (South Midlands) Ltd, who intends to undertake a new residential development comprising up to 296 dwellings, for which outline planning permission has been granted. Thirty-six trenches were excavated across the site and revealed a landscape that had been heavily altered by post-medieval open cast quarrying, especially in the north and east of the site. Along the edge of one such quarry pit was a single pit that contained 23 sherds of Late Bronze Age pottery, possibly representing a single vessel, alongside these sherds were fire-cracked stone and charcoal fragments, suggesting the use of hot-stone technology. Organic material was also noted as residues on the sherds. No heat alteration was evident within the feature, so it is considered likely that the pit was used for refuse and that the heating of the stones occurred elsewhere. Ridge and furrow was recorded across the entire site along with a former post-medieval field boundary, present until the mid 20th century and upcast from the construction of the railway that runs along the southeast boundary of the site. No other features or deposits of potential archaeological origin were identified.
