Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Great Barr park, Walsall. It was undertaken on behalf of clients who intend restoration of Great Barr Hall and Park for which residential enabling development would be required. Great Barr Park is a Grade II registered park (which surrounds Great Barr Hall, a Grade II* listed building Proposed enabling works include development of an area south of Chapel Lane to the north west of the park. Two areas, one comprising St Margaret's Church, Great Barr and an area to its east, and the other in the area of a moated site, were defined as areas of high archaeological potential and earmarked for preservation. Buffer zones were defined around these and it was agreed that in those parts of the buffer zones where development was proposed trial trenches would be excavated to assess whether archaeological deposits of value were present. Seven trenches were excavated: three in a buffer zone to the south east of the church, including an area where an early lane was thought to be located; and four in a buffer zone to the west and south of the moated site. The trenches in the area adjacent to the church failed to locate the early lane but did record a number of small linear features which may demarcate boundaries. A large cut feature backfilledwith modern material was recorded in one trench. The trenches excavated in the area adjacent to the moated site were sited in areas of proposed housing. In three to the south of the extant pond, no archaeological features were recovered whilein one to the west a large cut feature extending in three directions is thought to be a gravel extraction pit. The evaluation demonstrated that the archaeological impact of the proposed development in these areas is likely to be low.
