Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken of land west of Worcester, Worcestershire. It was commissioned by Orion Heritage on behalf of Hallam Land Management, in advance of a proposed urban extension to Worcester. Planning permission has been granted subject to a programme of archaeological works. The project comprised the excavation of 132 trenches across the 47ha site representing a sample of 2.79%. The site is located to the west of Worcester and comprised nine fields situated between A44 Bromyard Road and Oldbury Road, with an additional further field to the north of Oldbury Road. a Previous geophysical survey identified negligible results and a desk-based assessment identified low potential for archaeological remains dating from the prehistoric and Roman periods. Medieval archaeological remains were identified as likely to be agricultural in character with a probable association with a Scheduled Ancient Monument; Earl's Court Moated site, located to the south-east of the site. The fieldwork element of the evaluation was undertaken in February and March 2020.
