Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Worcester Rugby Club, Six Ways, Worcestershire (NGR SO 890 577). It was undertaken on behalf of Worcester Rugby Club, the client, who intends to redevelop the site with a new north stand, a health and racquets club, new roads, car parking, and associated landscaping, for which a planning application has been submitted. The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological site was present and if so to indicate what its location, date and nature were. While no prehistoric archaeological features were identified during the evaluation, the finds assemblage is of some significance. The recovery of quantities of prehistoric worked flint and flint debitage, prehistoric pottery, potting clay and fire-cracked stones indicate settled activity during the Neolithic and/or Early to Late Bronze Age near to Area A of the evaluation. The generally well-preserved nature of this prehistoric material was not indicative of substantial disturbance due to agricultural interference, such as ploughing, so the potential of preserved prehistoric features within the adjacent area may be judged to be relatively high. However, if such a site lies under the rugby practice pitches to the north of Area A, it would be subject to some truncation down to the level of the natural subsoil.
