Abstract:		 Archaeological evaluation and buildings appraisal were undertaken on behalf of Rooftop Housing Group Ltd at 33-38 Cowl Street, Evesham, Worcestershire (NGR SP 03858 43790; WSM 40829 and 40820). The evaluation trenching identified deposits, features and structures of post-medieval and modern date along with residual finds of medieval date. The buildings appraisal identified structures of medieval, post-medieval and modern date. The buildings recorded at 33-38, Cowl Street date back to the 'high medieval' period, probably the 12th century. These structures consist of a stone built undercroft below 35-38, related to a merchant's property on Bridge Street, and dating to before the creation of Cowl Street, and a stone built cellar below 33, set back from the frontage of Cowl Street within one of tenement plots running to the west of the street. The undercroft building had a timber-frame building constructed over it, on the ground floor, in the 17th century and an 18th century building had been added over the stone cellar. The buildings on the site, in particular 35-38, are considered to be of national and regional importance, given the fact that a 'high medieval' structure has survived hitherto unknown in an urban environment and is considered as highly vulnerable. Deposits to the rear of 33, 34 and 38 consisted of garden soils and make-up layers of 19th and 20th century date. The depth of these soils to the north west of plots 33 and 34 was considerable, indicating that the site has been used for market gardening, as documented in 19th century trade directories.
