Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken of land off the High Street, Tettenhall, Wolverhampton (NGR: SO 8873 9991). It was requested by CgMs Ltd on behalf of their client McCarthy and Stone Retirement Living Lifestyles Ltd, who intend to construct a series of retirement apartments with associated landscaping and car parking, for which a planning application has been granted by Wolverhampton City Council, subject to conditions including archaeological works. The site lies on the eastern side of High Street in Tettenhall on the northern side of College Road. Prior to the development the site comprised three houses and their gardens. Seven trenches, between 5m and 20m long were excavated on the site. The trenches were placed to gain maximum coverage of the site, although their placing was restricted to some degree by the presence of standing structures and live services. It was noted that during the site investigations the property boundaries were interpreted as later Post-Medieval features. This was due, in part, to the presence of intrusive pottery. Following postexcavation analysis and input from the curator, this dating has been revised to the early Post- Medieval period. Near the northern edge of the area of investigation an east/west aligned ditch was recorded in two trenches. An assemblage of 17th Century pottery was recovered from a fill of this ditch which is thought to represent a former field or property boundary which ran perpendicular to the High Street. To the south-west of the site, three parallel intercutting ditches were recorded running approximately north-south. The remains of a stone wall survived in the base of the easternmost of these ditches which are thought to represent different phases of a boundary which formerly comprised the western edge of this land parcel.
