Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation project was undertaken at Abbey Gate, Evesham, Worcestershire ahead of a residential development. The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological site was present and if so to indicate what its location, date and nature were. The excavation of three trenches and two test pits showed activity on the site from the Roman period to the present day. The Roman remains consisted of a small pit, which was dated to the 2nd century AD and residual Roman pottery found in post-medieval deposits. Although these remains are only slight they are significant as this is only the second time that Roman deposits have been found in Evesham and suggest that the Abbey Gate site lies at the periphery of a settlement found in an earlier archaeological intervention on Vine Street. Given the sites location within the medieval abbey precinct, very few medieval deposits were identified or artefacts found. Only one medieval layer was positively identified and all the other pottery and tile was residual. It is thought that the lack of medieval material could be due to the fact that precinct was kept clean and free from the domestic activity that is most easily identified archaeologically. Post-medieval deposits showed a greater degree of domestic activity on the site as homes replaced the abbey buildings after its Dissolution in 1540 and some deposits of rubble that were found may date from that demolition.
