Abstract:		 In December 2005, Birmingham Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation, sponsored by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council on behalf of Warley Woods Community Trust (WWCT), at Warley Woods Park, Sandwell (centred on NGR SP 0130 8610). 20 trial trenches were excavated within the park. The trenches were located to assess the survival and character of the archaeological remains across the site, targeting features and structures associated with the transformation of the Warley Estate according to the designs of Repton in the late 18th and early 19th century. A further aim of the evaluation was to identify possible areas suitable to excavate as part of a future community/outreach project. The evaluation proved successful in characterising the remains of many of the targeted features. Structural remains were identified at the locations of the Abbey, Icehouse, stables, North and South lodges, and the Temple. The remains, consisting of a variety of brick walls, foundations, and surfaces were all in a good state of preservation. The trenches across the site of the Abbey identified substantial walls and surfaces sealed by shallow deposits of topsoil and demolition debris. The character, survival, and depth of the archaeological evidence associated with the Abbey would make this area suitable for excavation as part of an outreach community project. Other trenches identified several of the ''lost'' footpaths running across the Park. No structural remains were identified at the putative location of Warley Tor, where the trenches revealed a large area of landfill material consisting of ash and slag.
