Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology in December 2018 at land off Moxley Road, Darlaston, Walsall (NGR SO 6905 6266). It was commissioned by Lanpro Services Ltd, in advance of a proposed mixed use development, for which a planning application has been submitted. The site comprises one small part of a larger development area, the majority of which has been subject to significant ground disturbance. Ridge and furrow earthworks however survive, relatively undisturbed, in the north-eastern part of the area and it was considered that there was a potential for the survival of archaeological features in this area. Four trenches of varying lengths were opened, laid out in a random grid array across this part of the site. A photographic record of the extant ridge and furrow was also undertaken. A limited number of archaeological features were identified within the trenches comprising drainage, modern intrusions, and the bases of furrows related to the earthworks. There was no indication of earlier occupation or other activity on the site, which appears to have been subject to mixed agricultural and industrial land use. The small assemblage of artefacts was typical of that found in post-medieval agricultural soils, although a single pottery sherd recovered from the subsoil in one trench was dated to the medieval period.
