Abstract:		 Excavation of two small areas over prehistoric features identified during a previous evaluation. An archaeological excavation was undertaken at land at Winsmore, Powick, Worcestershire. It was commissioned by Richard Smalley of CgMs Consulting on behalf of their client, in advance of a proposed residential development. Planning permission has been granted by Malvern Hills District Council, subject to a programme of archaeological works. The site comprised a single arable field, located to the south-west of the historic core of Powick and is situated in a landscape dominated by the River Teme, to the north, and the River Severn, to the east. Prior to this excavation, a desk-based assessment was undertaken, followed by a geophysical survey. Whilst the results of the geophysical survey were negative, the DBA identified a moderate potential for archaeological remains dating to the Palaeolithic and Iron Age. Subsequently eight evaluation trenches were excavated across the site, which identified low levels of prehistoric activity. Two excavation areas covering c. 365m2 and 490m2 were opened over evaluation trenches 3 and 5 and although these only contained natural tree throws/bowls a small assemblage of prehistoric pottery and flint was recovered. The assemblage is thought to be of Neolithic date and although small does suggest that the area was at least temporarily occupied during this period. The remains are typical of those arising from small, transient occupations by mobile communities which would migrate through the landscape on a seasonal basis.
