Abstract:		 Manor Road, Lower Moor, Worcestershire (NGR SO 98114 47206). The excavation was a consequence of a breach of a conditioned approval of a planning application to Wychavon District Council, thus requiring compensatory mitigation excavation. An archaeological evaluation had identified undated archaeological remains and the archaeological advisor to the local planning authority considered that the development had the potential to impact upon heritage assets. Two areas were excavated within the constraints of the development site. Two ditches, a gully, a tree throw and two modern features were identified. One of the ditches was undated but may be related to prehistoric or Roman activity. The second ditch represented the continuation of a post-medieval ditch identified during the evaluation. The gully was also undated and could date to either the prehistoric/Roman or post-medieval periods. The tree throw contained modern pottery but within its fill was a redeposited Palaeolithic flint endscraper which represents a rare and significant addition to the record of Palaeolithic Worcestershire. It weighs 7g and is wholly re-corticated with a deep orange patina. The edges are slightly dulled, suggesting some (though not extensive) fluvial transport. It is considered to date to the Marine Isotope Stage 3 (57-29kya), either during the late Middle (circa 59-36kya) or early Upper (circa 36-29kya) Palaeolithic.
