Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at 4/4a Whittington Road, Worcester (SO 8688 5369; SMR ref WCM91097). It was undertaken on behalf of John Rudge, who intends to develop the site for residential use. The site comprises the rear garden of a large Victorian brick house, no.4, which fronts onto Whittington Road and the garden of no 4a a relatively modern house slightly to the south-east. A mound with a pear tree 25m south of no 4. is the reputed location of a gallows used until the mid 18th century. The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological site was present in particular, any structures or finds related to the gallows and if so to indicate what its location, date and nature were. Seven trenches were opened across the site by a machine with a 1.6m wide toothless grading bucket. Apart from some garden terracing features no features of archaeological interest were uncovered over the southern part of the site. Near the mound several features of interest were recorded. The probable edge of a former trackway was recorded to the north of the mound comprising a shallow cut with a probable cart rut with many cobbles within the fill. The track was probably following the same line as the former footpath. A pit with a depth of 1m was recorded west of the mound. No dateable evidence was recovered from the fill, but it may relate to the execution site as the posthole for the gallows or a related structure.
