Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land off Norval Road, South Littleton, Worcestershire (NGR 40940 24560). It was commissioned by Charles Grant-Parkes on behalf of the land owner Significance Developments in advance of a proposed erection of four dwellings on the site. Planning permission has been granted by Wychavon District Council subject to a programme of archaeological works. The site is a green area surrounded by a housing estate to the west of HMP Long Lartin, east of the village of South Littleton. The area was previously the location of a Second World War army camp, depicted on the 1954-1963 edition of the Ordnance Survey map of the area. Two trenches were excavated within the field located over the proposed footprint of the four dwellings. One single, archaeologically sterile ditch was recorded in one trench which was cut into the natural substrate. A regular soil profile was recorded on site, with a layer of a modern made ground spread recorded across the site, between the subsoil and the modern topsoil. The modern made ground is likely to relate to the modern development of the site as an army camp in the mid-20th Century, or from its demolition in the later part of the century. No further features were evident relating to the army camp, suggesting the site had been levelled after it was decommissioned.
