Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken of land off Parsonage Way, Worcester. It was undertaken on behalf of CgMs Consulting Ltd, whose client Warndon Six Ltd intends to develop the land, for which a planning application will be submitted. Fifteen trenches were excavated across the site, to test both areas of geophysical anomalies, and otherwise apparently blank areas. Two sides of a possible eves drip gully for a roundhouse of Middle to Late Iron Age were revealed toward the north-west corner of the site. It had an internal diameter of approximately 7m and no apparent internal features, although preservation was good so it is considered likely that any other deeper features would have survived. A possible keyhole oven and a possible stone built oven of similar date lay to the south-east. No other features or ditches of Middle-Late Iron Age date were identified. The activity is conjectured to be dispersed and unenclosed. A Roman ditch adjacent to the ovens aligned roughly north-east to south-west appears to have been recut at least once, indicating either a long period of use, or re-use. The low density of general Roman material associated indicates a possible function as an agricultural enclosure. There was no indication of the putative Roman road across the site. Medieval or post-medieval ridge and furrow was found to survive across the southern half of the site, on two differing alignments separated by a ploughed out roughly north to south aligned ditch. There was no trace of surviving ridge and furrow in the northern portion of the site.
