Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land north of Pixham Ferry Lane, Kempsey, Worcestershire (NGR SO 8499 4836). It was undertaken on behalf of Wardell Armstrong Archaeology, whose client Taylor Wimpey West Midlands intends to construct a new housing development for which a planning application will be submitted to Malvern Hills District Council. Seventeen trenches were excavated across the site. A number of probable storage pits were identified, and a sample of them excavated. Whilst the pottery recovered from the features were conceivably of later Iron Age or Roman date, the proximity of a probable prehistoric enclosure some 200m to the west would suggest the former date. The evaluation also revealed some undated ditches. One of these likely relates to medieval or later land division, though one that predates the mid nineteenth century. The other ditches are likely older and possibly contemporary with the storage pits. An undated but probably early prehistoric possible hearth was excavated, but this remained in isolation with respect to the other archaeological features identified.
