Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology in August 2019 of land off Churchfields, Kidderminster, Worcestershire (NGR SO 8325 7705). Two trenches were excavated within car parking areas either side of a former car showroom and garage. The project was commissioned by Jacobs Consulting Ltd on behalf of Worcestershire County Council, in advance of proposed infrastructure improvements as part of the Churchfields Highways Infrastructure Scheme. The archaeological deposits identified were all of post-medieval and modern date, dating from the 17th to 18th century onwards. Soil deposits suggested that the land was formerly in agricultural or horticultural use before being developed. Structural remains of 19th century date, including part of a cellar, as well as an associated yard surface, can be associated with properties shown on historic mapping prior to their demolition in the 20th century. There was no evidence of earlier features, although a single medieval pitcher jug handle was of particular interest. Whilst residual, this was unabraded and may reflect the reported presence of medieval manor house(s) in the vicinity. Trial holes were also archaeologically monitored as part of the follow on groundworks mitigation.
