Abstract:		 Archaeological recording was carried out in May 2017 at The Orchards, 25 Lyfs Lane, Kempsey, Worcestershire, during the erection of a detached bungalow. The Historic Environment Record (HER) showed that Kempsey lies in an area rich in archaeological remains and that the village has a long history. The site is close to a promontory fort of probable Iron-Age date and Roman deposits suggesting occupation have been found within the village. A Saxon ecclesiastical settlement is well documented around the church and the village continued to develop during the medieval period Historic maps show the site lying on the northern periphery of the village in outlying fields named in 1840 as 'Brewers Close' and 'Marshy Furlong'. By 1885-6 these has become part of a larger area clearly used as orchard. Post-war, the land was sub-divided and Orchard House was constructed within a small corner plot to the south-east along the north side of Lyfs Lane between 1955-1970. The stratigraphic sequence of deposits recorded during the excavation suggests an open rural environment with little or no human activity prior to the occupation of the site in the second half of the C20. The lack of residual finds from the excavation supports this interpretation.
