Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Mike Napthan Archaeology in February 2013 in advance of a proposed development to the rear of 29 St John's, Worcester. A single trench was excavated and encountered no features or deposits of archaeological interest. The depositional sequence consisted of natural sandy gravel overlaid by subsoil and a deep cultivated soil horizon into which a small number of late 19th Century and 20th Century rubbish disposal features had been cut. The property has been the rear yard of a butcher's shop since the late 19th Century, and the area of proposed new building was used until recent times as garden and as a run for pigs which were housed in a small brick built sty at the rear of the plot. The area is presently mainly used for carparking but is partly occupied by a portable coldstore. The site, whilst in the historic core of the township of St John's lies well behind the street frontage in an area that has previously proved to have only patchy survival of archaeologically significant deposits. The present site has a particularly deep accumulation of apparently post-medieval cultivation soils which contained very little residual medieval material. Despite the proximity of a known late Iron Age -early Roman enclosure site (within 150m) there were no residual Roman artefacts. The intended development will have no significant impact on the archaeological resource.
