Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Lioncourt Strategic Land Ltd at Orchard Farm, Defford Road, Pershore, Worcestershire (NGR ref SO 9337 4523; HER ref WSM 69437). A post-medieval watercourse, field boundary and undated ditch were identified, along with areas of modern made ground and rubble. Cartographic evidence suggests the undated ditch may be a medieval or early post-medieval woodland boundary with Tiddesley Wood. An absence of Iron Age and Roman features or finds confirms that the known settlement at Pershore Cemetery to the east does not extend as far west as the application site. A residual flint blade of Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date hints at a potential small flint scatter in the north-west corner of the site.
