Abstract:		 In May 2020, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation at the site of a proposed farm reservoir to the south of Brantham Hall Farm. The location of the site suggested high archaeological potential as it was situated close to the River Stour, on a well-drained, south-facing gravel terrace. Cropmarks of trackways and field boundaries had been recorded to the east of the site and Beaker burials, Bronze Age cremations, Iron Age pits, a Roman pottery scatter and a Late Anglo-Saxon coin hoard had all been recorded in the vicinity. Despite this high potential, no features of archaeological significance were recorded and a small assemblage of finds, mainly of post-medieval or modern date show a very meagre utilisation of the site in the past. Deep deposits of stony material across the site, probably dating to the 19th or 20th centuries, were likely to be the result of dumping excess material from the excavation of the nearby railway cutting or from other landscaping activities associated with the adjacent farm.
