Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Whittington Village Hall, Whittington, Worcestershire (NGR SO 87765 52993). It was commissioned by Dan Stiff of Boughton Butler Ltd on behalf of Whittington Village Hall Committee, in advance of the proposed demolition of the existing Whittington Village Hall, and construction of a replacement village hall. Planning permission has been granted subject to a programme of archaeological works. The site is located on the north-east side of the village of Whittington, 3.5km south-east of the centre of Worcester. Two trenches, amounting to 470m2 in area were excavated on the site, one for the topsoil strip of the new building’s footprint and the other for a soakaway. No archaeological features or deposits were encountered in either of the trenches. Trench 1 was not excavated deeper than the topmost layer of made ground. Trench 2 encountered the natural substrate 1.05m below ground surface, overlain by a layer of colluvium. The lack of features and residual finds, coupled with the presence of a ceramic land drain, suggest that the site was solely used in use as agricultural land prior to the construction of the village hall in 1954.
