Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land off Bromyard Terrace, St Johns Worcester (NGR SO 84059,54548). It was undertaken on behalf of Mr D Stiff of BB Architecture and Planning Ltd, who intend residential development of the site for which a planning application is in preparation. The site comprises three gardens to the rear of Angel Inn and other buildings fronting the centre of St Johns, part of Worcester City which lies to the west of the River Severn. Cartographic evidence demonstrates that the site has been gardens since, at least, 1840. Three trenches were excavated across the site. A single sherd of Roman pottery was recovered as residual in a later layer which may relate to other early Roman activity known in St Johns. In two trenches the natural substrate comprising river terrace sands and gravels was revealed at a depth of c1.7m whilst in the central trench it was not present. A machine-dug sondage revealed Mercian mudstone bedrock at a greater depth and it is thought that localised quarrying of the gravel had taken place here. The mudstone was cut by a shallow possibly linear feature overlain by two layers from which Medieval pottery was retrieved. Two brick walls recorded which are likely to have been a garden features or divisions. It is likely that the site has been backplots to properties fronting St Johns since the medieval period. It is clear that the ground level within the gardens has been built up with waste and rubble relatively recently.
