Abstract: The desk-based assessment showed that the site was likely to have contained significant Roman, medieval and post-medieval remains. The Roman remains were likely to have been industrial in character. The medieval remains were likely to have been of tenements, belonging to a northern suburb of Worcester which developed after 1100 and evidence for industrial processes, specifically tile-making or domestic occupation. These remains were probably best preserved away from the street frontages, especially the Foregate Street frontage, in the former yard of the inn. Post-medieval remains were likely to have related to the development of the Star Hotel, an important coaching inn from the 16th century. Recommendations for further archaeological work in advance of the proposed development were made in the light of the assessment. [Au(abr)]
