Abstract:		 Archaeological recording was carried out during 2019 at Nosterns Well, Netherton Lane, Netherton, Worcestershire to monitor construction of a menage. The HER has shown that the site lies historically in an area where there is evidence in the form of cropmarks interpreted as possible enclosures related to prehistoric or Romano-British settlement remains and a possible Saxon road is also recorded less than 40m from the development site. Excavation comprised a rectangular area measuring 30m x 60m and revealed the surface of the natural substrate throughout most of the area excavated. This exposed a single undated large linear ditch feature aligned east-west across the excavation. The ditch was about 3.5m wide and 0.30m deep terminating towards the west edge of the excavation. In the absence of any tithe or enclosure award maps, the earliest cartographic source available for the area is the OS 1884-5 survey and this shows that the ditch does not correspond with any historic field boundaries from this period suggesting that it is an earlier feature. An image from the aerial LiDAR survey clearly shows evidence of former boundaries within the surrounding area, but does not show the ditch feature recorded in the excavation. Given the evidence for cropmarks within the wider historic environment, the undated ditch feature has the potential to represent the remains of an earlier enclosure, possibly prehistoric or Romano-British, the terminus at the west end of the ditch suggesting a break which may reflect the position of a former entrance within the enclosure. The lack of any residual finds contemporary with these periods however, does not support this hypothesis.
