Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological works was undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology (WA) in July 2020 at Hindlip Hall, Hindlip, Worcestershire (NGR SO 8823 5885). The project was commissioned by Place Partnership (the Client) in response to the requirements of the Archaeology and Planning Advisor for Wychavon District Council, following unmonitored construction works associated with a new lighting array. The site is located within an archaeologically sensitive area where previous investigations had been undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology in 2009 in preparation for a new access road and carpark. These investigations had identified the remains of a probable Iron Age pit alignment and a small to medium sized rural Roman settlement dating from the mid-2nd to 4th centuries AD. The present archaeological investigations were originally intended to comprise the excavation of a single trench, 180m by 1.50m, as a compensatory excavation following the unmonitored construction of the lighting array. In the event the site was found to be located with an area of substantial landscaping with made-ground deposits exceeding 1.00m in depth. Following consultation with the Archaeology and Planning Advisor for Wychavon District Council, it was agreed the methodology would be adapted to the excavation of three test pits. All three test pits recorded the presence of made-ground deposits, comprising redeposited red marl clay. The natural substrate was not encountered in any of the test pits and so the archaeological horizon exceeds 1.00m in depth along the entirety of the bund. It is therefore deemed unlikely that the unmonitored service trench, associated with the lighting array, truncated any archaeological features or deposits. Five residual sherds of Roman pottery were recovered from the made-ground and are clearly associated with the Roman rural settlement previously excavated on the site. Pottery evidence indicates that the settlement dated from the mid-2nd to 4th centuries AD, and the sherds found in this stage of investigations fit within this date range.
