Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken of land at Nunnery Way, Worcester (NGR: SO 8834 5440; WCM 101622). It was undertaken on behalf of St Modwen Developments Ltd, who intends to build a new stadium for Worcester City Football Club. The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological site was present and if so to indicate what its location, date and nature were. Fifteen trenches were located across the site, which revealed no significant archaeological remains. The site had been heavily ploughed, and the only features identified were ploughed out traces of ridge and furrow. Finds from furrow fills dated to the medieval and post-medieval period. Six randomly positioned 50m x 50m grid squares were also fieldwalked and metal detected. The finds included a Roman brooch and several Roman pottery sherds, although the majority of finds were of pottery, brick and tile, dating to the post-medieval and modern periods. No patterning in artefact deposition was discerned through the fieldwalking. On the basis of the evidence for historic landscape use, the site may be argued to be overall of low archaeological importance. Specific details of the groundworks associated with the development are at present unknown. However, it is considered that they will have only a small-scale negative affect on the identified remains.
