Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Border Archaeology Ltd was instructed by Simon Angell Architectural Consultant on behalf of Mr D. Davies to carry out a programme of Archaeological Field Evaluation of land to the north of No. 81a Corve Street Ludlow Shropshire SY8 1DX in connection with the conversion of an outbuilding to residential use, together with provision for parking space for two vehicles. An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment of the site was carried out by BAL in 2015. No. 81 Corve Street comprises a late 18th -century, three-strorey property in painted brick with a Welsh slate roof and a large 19th -century outbuilding to the north. A single trench measuring 5m × 2m was excavated. The only features present were a sequence of ditches, aligned north/south, all of which were thought to be of post-medieval (i.e. post 16th century) date. A probable later post-medieval (18th -19th century) cobbled surface revealed at the west end of the trench (street frontage) did not extend eastwards beyond the line of the boundary. There was no evidence for its continuation, such as displaced cobbles or bedding material, suggesting it was contemporary with, or post-dated, the boundary. A layer containing a considerable quantity of coal dust overlay, and was probably associated with, the use of this surface. No evidence was uncovered for the late medieval or post-medieval burgage plots known to have occupied Corve Street, although a fragment of medieval roof tile and a single sherd of late medieval pottery confirmed medieval occupation in the vicinity of the site.
