Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology in January 2019 at Fradley Park, Fradley, Staffordshire (NGR SK 1486 1321). This involved excavation of three trial trenches comprising the first stage (Stage 1) of a larger scheme of evaluation and historic building recording. It was commissioned by Lanpro Services Ltd on behalf of Bellway Homes, in advance of a proposed residential development. A planning application has been submitted and outline permission has been granted subject to a number of conditions that include a programme of archaeological works. A large proportion of the development area has been subject to extensive disturbance associated with spoil movement and the presence of various buildings and hardstanding of a former airfield (RAF Lichfield). The trenches were therefore targeted on areas known to have been subject to less disturbance from this activity. Only a limited number of archaeological features were identified within the trenches, however, mainly related to drainage and other modern intrusions. Two features, a shallow linear ditch and an adjacent pit, appeared to be of relatively modern date and reflect a former field system visible on early 20th century mapping, prior to construction of the airfield. There were no buried features associated with RAF Lichfield, and there was no indication of earlier occupation or other activity on the site.
