Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering 48 hectares on land east of Bishampton, Worcestershire to inform a planning application (ref 19/01287/PA) for a proposed solar farm. The survey has identified two distinct areas of archaeological activity, in the north-east corner and in the south of the proposed development area (PDA) comprising ditched enclosures. The northernmost site comprises a single triangular enclosure, whereas the southern site is more complex, comprising several interconnecting and overlapping rectangular enclosures which may be suggestive of multi-phase activity. Both sites are likely to be due to small-scale settlement activity and are assessed as of high archaeological potential. No clear archaeological anomalies have been identified elsewhere on the site although scattered isolated discrete and linear anomalies may be indicative of further archaeological activity within the PDA, perhaps being due to soil-filled pits and ditches. These anomalies are ascribed a moderate archaeological potential. Anomalies indicative of ridge and furrow cultivation have been identified throughout the site. These may be of local historical interest but are not thought to be of any archaeological significance. Therefore, on the basis of the geophysical survey, the majority of the PDA is assessed as of low to moderate archaeological potential with locally very high potential ascribed to the two identified areas of archaeological activity.
