Abstract:		 A watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Central Networks at Nunnery Farm, Westwood Park, Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire (NGR SO 8760 6407; HER ref. WSM 42453). A full sequence of topsoil, subsoil and natural was observed within the single excavated trench. No significant archaeological deposits, layers, structures or horizons were identified. The few finds recovered were post-medieval and modern and were determined to be residual. There was no evidence for the nunnery which predated the existing house, nor for the putative deserted medieval village. The lack of significant archaeological deposits does appear to confirm what is suggested by the cartographic and illustrative sources, that the site has remained undeveloped to the present day, albeit planted with trees within the larger landscape of Westwood Park which was created in the early 17th century. Similarly the traditional theory that the nunnery was located within the kitchen garden to the north-west of the house remains valid.
