Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Alan McColm and APU Retail Ltd at the former Vauxhall Inn, Abbey Road, Evesham, Worcestershire (NGR SP 03508 43661; HER ref WSM68507). The proposed development site is located in area considered to be of high archaeological potential and so all groundworks associated with the development were monitored. A dressed, blue-lias stone wall was recorded, surviving below the boundary walls of No.44 and No.45 Merstow Green. The wall survived for ten courses and was determined to be part of the Evesham Abbey precinct wall, constructed in the 14th century under Abbot Chyryton. The wall followed a broadly east to west alignment and the route is consistent with the section of scheduled wall surviving above ground, to the west. Deposits associated with the construction of the wall were also recorded, and indicate that the wall was trench built. Deposits predating the construction of the 14th century wall were observed. These included a medieval layer, and a potential Roman metalled surface. Residual Roman artefacts were recovered from a large number of deposits on site which comprise the majority of the finds assemblage retained. This project has provided a brief insight into Roman activity within Evesham, and strengthens the premise that the Merstow Green area was at the centre of this occupation. Further archaeological features recorded comprised a post-medieval ditch, 20th century walls, construction related dump deposits and floors.
