Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology on 28th January 2021 at Merrimans Cottage, Froggery Lane, Stoulton, Worcestershire (NGR SO 390354 249786). This comprised one 11-metre-long evaluation trench across the footprint of a proposed new building. The project was commissioned by Mr Sean Sparrey, in advance of a proposed construction of a threebedroom, detached house at the site, adjacent to the existing Merrimans Cottage. Planning permission has been granted subject to a programme of archaeological works. The archaeological advisor to the Wychavon District Council, Aidan Smyth, considered that the proposed development had the potential to impact upon specific heritage assets. Namely the medieval and post-medieval remains of the village of Stoulton (WSM 37489). Across most of the trench modern garden soils directly overlay the sterile natural sand and gravels. No significant archaeology was recorded on site other than a single quarry pit at the southern end of the trench. This edge of this cut correlates with the northern end of an old quarry pit visible on the 1905 Ordnance Survey mapping. The backfill of this quarry contained an artefact assemblage of domestic wares including later post medieval pottery, glass, and ceramic building material, with a terminus post quem date of circa AD 1830-1930. It is probable that the exhausted pit became infilled with waste material from various properties in the village. Any earlier archaeological remains in the southern half of the property will have been truncated by this quarry pit.
