Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Allesborough Farm, Pershore, Worcestershire (NGR SO 9383 4629). It was commissioned by Clive Petch of Clive Petch Architects, in advance of a proposed residential development for which planning permission has been granted (subject to a programme of archaeological works). The site comprises a former farmyard with extant farm outbuildings and is located around 1km northwest of Pershore. Six trenches were excavated in a random grid array to provide a representative sample of the site. No features were recorded in the majority of trenches apart from an undated possible field boundary ditch and other features related to demolished post-medieval and modern farm buildings and drainage. In the northernmost trench, however, to the west of the farmhouse a post medieval oven was recorded. The oven was keyhole shaped and lined with reused late medieval to post-medieval roof tiles, with a large stone slab forming the base of the flue. While there is no direct evidence to confirm the function of the oven, it is considered likely that it was used for baking, due to the lack of industrial waste present and the use of a high-heat within the oven.
