Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at the rear of 23-24 Foregate Street, Worcester on behalf of Boughton Butler LLP, (NGR: SO 8494 5535; WCM 101670 ). The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological site was present and if so to indicate what its location, date and nature were. Two trenches revealed evidence for both horticultural/gardening and building activities in the post-medieval period, with no evidence for earlier (medieval, Roman or prehistoric) settlement. A pattern of land use in the form of ground levelling and filling activities in the 18th century is present to the rear of 23 Foregate Street, along with an extant brick wall interpreted as a boundary wall. The pattern of land use is similar at the rear of 24 Foregate Street, along with evidence for building demolition which could be related to the construction of the 19th century building currently fronting onto Foregate Street, whereby an older structure (17th-18th century) on the site or nearby, underwent demolition, or as a result of demolition and clearance of the Foregate suburb associated with the Civil War. Furthermore, the absence of any earlier settlement remains at the site, which is in the historic core of the Roman town and medieval suburb, may also be the result of this demolition. The finds from the evaluation represent a wide range of post-medieval wares, including tin-glazed delftware, pearlware, clay pipes and a 17th century hand-blown class wine bottle.
