Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Land North of Taylor's Lane, Worcester, Worcestershire (NGR SO 85794 51634). It was commissioned by CgMs Heritage on behalf of St Modwen, in advance of a proposed mixed use development. Planning permission for the scheme has been granted subject to a programme of archaeological works. Archaeological evaluation of the site comprises one stage of this programme. Other stages have included a geophysical survey and watching briefs maintained on ground investigation works. The site is located between Broomhall Way A4440 and Taylor's Lane to the south of Worcester. It comprises four fields, in a line, set to pasture at the time of the evaluation. Twenty six trenches were excavated over the four fields in a modified grid array. No significant archaeological features were present in the majority of trenches. Furrows, the truncated remains of medieval and post medieval strip field agriculture were widespread across the site. A number of other linear cut features were also present which were largely undated. Within two adjacent trenches to the south of the site, archaeological features of more interest were revealed. In one of these small fragments of Malvernian pottery were retrieved from one small oval pit as well as large fragments of charred oak with narrow growth rings. Similar fragments were retrieved from a pit in an adjacent trench as well as fired clay and glass slag. It is thought that these pits are likely to be contemporary and may represent the remains of charcoal production. To the south of the second pit a Malvernian oven plate of 2nd - 4th century date was retrieved from a small ditch. This may be associated with the presence of a prefabricated oven for provisioning workers or travellers in the Roman period. Metal detecting of topsoil spoil heaps produced a range of artefacts including a lead bullet (1000) which may relate to the nearby Civil War battlefield and a lead seal (4000).
