Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Beauchamp Lane, Beauchamp Court, Callow End, Worcestershire (NGR SO 842 503; WSM 67790). It was commissioned by Worcestershire County Council, on behalf of a community flood group, and involved the construction of permanent flood defences (earth bunds), for which a planning application was submitted to Malvern Hills District Council. The investigation of the three discrete areas revealed a small number of modern pits, generally adjacent to modern housing, and residual material within the ploughsoil. The excavation depth rarely penetrated the subsoil and no significant in situ deposits, finds or features were recorded, although archaeological features may exist, below the largely undisturbed subsoil. The artefactual material is all residual within agricultural soils. Medieval and post-medieval material is likely to have been incorporated into the site through agricultural processes such as manuring, though the notable sherd of Worcester-type sandy glazed ware is remarkably fresh and may have either been transported to the site from a primary context elsewhere, or derive from an unidentified archaeological deposit elsewhere in the near vicinity of the site. The presence of worked flint is consistent with a pattern of prehistoric exploitation of gravel terraces either side of the River Severn in this region, especially in the Neolithic and Bronze Age, as recently attested by material recovered from Kempsey.
