Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land at Winsmore, Powick, Worcestershire (NGR SO 82997 51300). It was commissioned by Richard Smalley of CgMs Consulting on behalf of their client, in advance of a proposed residential development. Planning permission has been granted by Malvern Hills District Council, subject to a programme of archaeological works. Eight trenches were excavated across the 1.5ha site, representing a 3% sample, and primarily targeting the location of proposed house plots. The site was found to have a prehistoric element, evidenced by the presence of a small pit in a trench in the eastern part of the site. The pit contained a small lithic and pottery assemblage which provides an earlier prehistoric, possibly Bronze Age, date for the feature. As much of the pit remained obscured by the trench baulk, interpretations are limited; however, it likely represents small-scale activity, possibly in the form of a temporary encampment. Whilst ostensibly isolated, it remains possible that further features of this date remained outside of the limit of the trench. The presence of prehistoric activity on site is of local interest and has the potential to develop our understanding of activity of this date within the landscape. The possible Bronze Age pit may be of up to regional importance.
