Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Barratt / David Wilson Mercia, of land off Main Street, Offenham, Worcestershire (centred on NGR SP 054 458; HER ref. WSM 47399). A number of field boundary ditches and postholes were observed and investigated. possible Due to the very loose nature of their fills, it is considered that they are of postmedieval or modern origin, probably relating to agricultural or market-garden activity. A curvilinear feature, possibly an eves drip gully, was recorded toward the centre of the site. However it appears to be of late date, similar to the aforementioned features. There was no evidence of Roman activity related to Icknield Street Roman road to the east, nor for the medieval village to have extended into this site. Similarly there was no indication for the existence of a trackway across the site between the Roman road and the fording point over the River Avon to the west. The topsoil and subsoil sequence appeared to be well developed without any indication of widespread disturbance. No significant archaeological features, structures, layers or horizons were identified, nor artefacts recovered.
