Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at the National Grid AGI Site, Gloster Ades Road, Honeybourne, Worcestershire (NGR SP 10646 43561). It was commissioned by Kier Major Projects, on behalf of the National Grid, in association with works at an existing National Grid site. Permission had been granted subject to a programme of archaeological works. The site was adjacent to a Roman enclosed settlement, and the current road is conjectured to have Roman origins. The works involved a strip map and sample of a compound and access area, followed by archaeological monitoring of works within the current National Grid AGI site. The strip map and sample areas were a maximum of 0.25m deep, into ploughsoil. A small assemblage of Roman pottery was recovered, consistent with rural occupation between the later 1st and 3rd centuries AD. Natural undisturbed deposits were not exposed in this area outside the National Grid site, such that no in situ archaeological features or deposits were revealed. However, the presence of the Roman pottery within the ploughsoil confirms the presence of the Roman settlement. The groundworks monitored within the National Grid site demonstrated that the ground had been stripped of topsoil and subsoil previously, with modern made ground and redeposited topsoil directly overlying the natural grey clay. The ground within the National Grid site had therefore clearly been truncated previously down to the natural geology, and there was no evidence of archaeological deposits, finds or features observed in this area.
