Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land off Evesham Road, Offenham, Evesham, Worcestershire (NGR SP 05848 45310). It was commissioned by Brodie Planning Associates Ltd on behalf of Shockingly Fresh Ltd, in advance of a proposed greenhouse development. A planning application has been submitted. Eleven trenches were excavated across the site, following a geophysical survey. A series of ditches and pits were revealed on the western side of the site, predominantly of late Roman date. These correlate well with the results of a previous excavation to the immediate south-west, showing a continuation of activity likely related to the surroundings of a villa complex. Finds included both local and regional pottery wares, and box-flue tile. Animal bone preservation was good, with the assemblage including deer antler. The site is significant for understanding the potential to further our understanding of the nature of activity on rural villa sites in the late 4th century, and beyond. The methods adopted allow a high degree of confidence that the aims of the project have been achieved. Conditions were suitable in all of the trenches to identify the presence or absence of archaeological features. It is considered that the nature, density and distribution of archaeological features provides an accurate characterisation of the development site as a whole.
