Abstract:		 Archaeological recording was carried out during April 2018 at Ryefield, Main Street, Church Lench, Worcestershire. Planning permission had been granted for the erection of an annex extension to the main house conditional on a programme of archaeological recording or 'watching brief' during groundworks. It was considered that the development may affect a known heritage asset of archaeological significance (WSM22995), the medieval village of Church Lench recorded as early as the C8. The site is on the boundary of an area recognised to be the Medieval settlement and there was a possibility that the development would disturb sub-surface archaeology which may help to explicate the extent of this settlement. A small-scale excavation (WSM34258) undertaken in the small field to the north-west of the junction of Main Street and Cow Road revealed a large ditch, to the south of this feature were the slight remains of a bank and pottery from the surface of this deposit suggested a C11-C14 date for the ditch. No archaeological deposits were encountered during the excavation at Ryfield. Instead, the results revealed a stratigraphic sequence indicative of an open agricultural landscape with little human activity within the development site and the lack of artefacts from the excavation supports this interpretation.
