Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment for the historic environment was undertaken on behalf of John Kendrick Ltd., at Little Acre, Worcester Road, Broomhall, Kempsey, Worcestershire (NGR SO 8530 5083, HER ref WSM49794). The site comprises a triangular plot of land to the west of the A38 Worcester Road between Kempsey and Broomhall to the south of Worcester. It is currently occupied by a bungalow and garden forming a part of a small cluster of houses set within a landscape of dispersed settlement. The site lies on a gravel terrace above the floodplain of the River Severn, which predisposes the site to settlement of prehistoric and Roman periods. The survival of buried archaeological remains of these periods including an enclosure and a road have been demonstrated in a recent archaeological evaluation of the field immediately north of the site. The cropmark of a potentially prehistoric ring ditch has been identified 150m to the south of the site and the Roman road between Worcester and Gloucester lies 400m to the east. The site is recorded as having been part of a World War Twodepot for the storage of tyres and inner tubes. Ten huts are shown on Ordnance Survey maps from 1955 to 1966, one of which was located within the site. No recorded archaeological investigations have been undertaken on the development site to date. It is considered likely that remains associated with, or of similar character to, the prehistoric and Roman remains recorded to the north of the site or related to the function of the site as part of a World War Two depot may be present within the site. It is recommended that evaluation in the form of trenches be undertaken to determine the presence or absence of remains, prior to development, in line with current National Planning Policy Framework guidelines.
