Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of CgMs Consulting at Plot 3 Masshouse, Birmingham City Centre, West Midlands (NGR SP 0760 8710). The evaluation was undertaken on the site of St Bartholomew's Chapel and burial ground to test for presence of surviving human remains and for the foundations of the chapel. St Bartholomew's Chapel and its burial ground were built in the mid-18th century on the eastern edge of the city. The burial ground was closed to further burials in the mid-19th century and became a park while the chapel itself continued in use until its closure in 1937. The chapel was demolished in 1943 and by the 1960s the site had become a Birmingham City Council car park. Anecdotal evidence of this time suggested that the burial ground has been cleared but this was not known for certain. Four trial trenches were excavated across the car park on the 5th and 6th August 2002. The trenching showed that the site of St Bartholomew's Chapel and its burial ground has been the subject of extensive ground disturbance since its closure and it would appear that a thorough burial ground clearance took place some time in the early 1960s. The ground seems to have been disturbed to a depth of approximately 3m across the entire area. The only evidence for the chapel was rubble and a collapsed wall ay the northwestern edge of the site.
