An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land off Stafford Road, Penkridge, Staffordshire (NGR 392331 314982). It was commissioned by Orion Heritage on behalf of Bloor Homes Midlands, in advance of a proposed residential development. A planning application has been submitted to South Staffordshire Council, and has been granted on appeal, subject to a programme of archaeological works. The proposed development site comprises a number of fields located to the north of Penkridge, to the west of Stafford Road. A total of 56 trenches were excavated across a 9.76ha area, laid out partly on a grid array and partly to test anomalies identified in a previous geophysical survey. No archaeologically significant finds or features were recorded. Furrows were present in several trenches, representing the truncated remains of medieval or post medieval strip field agriculture. Three ditches of post-medieval date were also identified which are thought to be related to agricultural use of the site. The majority of geophysical features correlated with furrows or natural features. Several sherds of unstratified post medieval pottery including the base of a scratch-blue white stoneware bowl were recovered from the topsoil following the completion of the evaluation.
