Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at land off Broadway Road, Childswickham, Worcestershire (NGR SP 0782 3885). It was undertaken on behalf of Mr M Taylor (the Client), who intends to erect a barn and construction a menage for which a planning application has been submitted (ref W/14/01940/PN). Previous works on an adjacent site in 2002 during monitoring of a Severn Trent Water pipeline uncovered evidence of Iron Age and Romano-British settlement including a Roman villa and a series of ditches. The curator considered that there was a potential for heritage assets to extend into the development area and permission was granted subject to conditions including a programme of archaeological works. The soil strip and drainage trenches in the footprint of the menage and associated drainage trenches were monitored, covering an area of 925m ². A typical soil profile was encountered, with natural clays and gravels reached at between 0.50 - 0.60m below ground level. Unstratified finds were retrieved from the topsoil during the soil strip but no further archaeological deposits were encountered demonstrating that settlement activity recorded to the north of the site does not extend into the development area. Due to the negative results of the monitoring for the menage, it was deemed by the curator that archaeological monitoring of limited groundworks associated with the barn was not necessary.
