Abstract:		 Trial Trenching Archaeological evaluation was carried out at the former Royal British Legion, Salwarpe Road, Droitwich Spa, WR9 9BH. Planning permission had been granted for the demolition of the existing building and the erection for up to 22 dwellings conditional on a programme of archaeological work. Grubbing out of the foundations for the demolished building was to be recorded by a watching brief. The investigation revealed that the site has been subjected to significant levels of truncation associated with various phases of development beginning in the late C19 and much of the historic landscape no longer survives and the surface of the geological clay is overlain by modern deposits of consolidation. In some areas there are traces of a former relict subsoil surviving from the historic landscape which shows later truncation across the site was variable but also considerable. A single undated ditch, partially truncated, was recorded aligned northeast southwest across the central area of the site. Although the results of the investigation were largely negative, some evidence of earlier human activity was shown by a single undated ditch feature aligned northeast southwest across the central area of the site probably representing an historic field boundary within a former agricultural landscape. It does not align with any of the boundaries mapped in 1885 which suggests an earlier origin. The evidence also suggests that the site lies outside the focus of the early settlement at Droitwich.
