Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken of groundworks at Rushall Hall, Leigh Road, Walsall (NGR SP 0259 9986) the site of a medieval fortified manor house (SAM 21574). Most of the work focused on an area to the south of the present late 18th century house which incorporates part of a medieval curtain wall. Ground reduction and the excavation of foundation trenches exposed the remains of medieval and post-medieval walls. A substantial wall represented a stone building of 13th or 14th century date; the first evidence of what the medieval buildings within the curtain wall may have looked like. It was built on a rubble and mortar substrate and abutted by a mortar floor. Two contemporary walls suggested an enclosure between the building and the north curtain wall. One of these walls was abutted by three 16th or 17th century walls. Two of them were short and closely spaced and so probably represent a porch in front of a door. The other wall may represent the subdivision of the medieval enclosure or a cellar beneath a house. The remaining walls comprised two garden walls and two cellars. The cellars certainly represent a house, which was probably replaced by the present building.
