Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Whittingham House, Worcester Road, Droitwich, Worcestershire (NGR SO 900 632). It was undertaken for CgMs Consulting who are acting on behalf of The Planning Bureau, who intend to submit a planning application in the future for a residential development on the site. The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological site was present and if so to indicate what its location, date and nature were. Four trenches were excavated and within these were identified a number of archaeological features consisting of pits and gullys dating from the late Saxon and medieval periods, demonstrating activity on the site from the 10th century to the post-medieval period. The trenches also showed that the ground level of the area had been raised by up to 1.8m by the deposition of large quantities of soil on the site sometime in the late 19th century. A backfilled brine shaft dating to the 17th or 18th centuries was also found along with features associated with cottages shown on 19th century maps that once stood adjacent to the Worcester Road. A brief assessment was also carried out on the nature and condition of a Second World War bomb shelter that was present in the garden of Whittingham House.
