Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment for the historic environment was undertaken at Clifton Quarry, Severn Stoke, Worcestershire (NGR SO 85001 45849). It was undertaken at the request of Pleydell Smithyman Limited on behalf of Lafarge Tarmac, who intend to extend their existing quarry to the east and the south of the currently permitted extraction areas, for which a planning application will be submitted. This report describes and assesses the significance of the heritage assets (and potential heritage assets) that are potentially affected by the application. The setting of heritage assets is considered. The potential impact of the application, and the need for further on-site evaluation, is assessed. The proposed extension areas are likely to contain dispersed Neolithic and Bronze Age archaeological remains representing transient occupation and utilisation of the valley floor. Such remains, including burnt mounds, are likely to be more common along the edges of the palaeochannels which run along the margins of, and may extend into, the proposed extension areas. These are liable to be of local, regional or potentially national importance. In the centre of the eastern extension area there is a ring-ditch (a probable Bronze Age round barrow) and further east, outside of the eastern extension area, there are numerous other prehistoric funerary and possible ceremonial sites. Similar sites may therefore be encountered within the eastern extension area. It is probable that a nationally significant Early Iron Age settlement, previously excavated to the west, extends into the northern part of the eastern extension area. A Roman settlement, with possible Iron Age origins, is visible through cropmarks within the southern end of the eastern extension area and is liable to be of local or regional importance.
