Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology in October 2018 at land off the A4104, Holly Green, Worcestershire (NGR SO 8594 4110). This comprised five evaluation trenches laid out in a random non-gridded array. No archaeological features were known prior to the evaluation. A preceding desk-based assessment prepared for the land adjacent to the northern boundary of the site (also evaluated during this project; WSM70294) had, however, indicated some potential for artefact scatters in the area due to the presence of archaeological remains in the wider surrounds. Only a small cluster of irregular features were identified. These appeared characteristic of rooting or depressions in the natural, although one may have been a small agricultural drainage gully. This was diffuse but contained a small fragment of medieval pottery. There was no indication of direct occupation on the site and it appears to have been used as agricultural land for a considerable period. The artefactual assemblage recovered did, however, suggest that general Roman and medieval activity nearby has produced material that has been incorporated into the subsoil. The Roman pottery finds were of particular interest and were perhaps related to trade passing through the area, reflecting the location of the site on rising ground to the east of the river. The known cropmark of an enclosure to the east (possibly prehistoric or Roman in date, although this is uncertain) could also be a factor in the presence of this material.
