Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology (WA) in June 2020 at 49 High Street, Pershore, Worcestershire (NGR SO 94936 45965). The project was commissioned by Wayne Andrews of Spectrum Building and Environmental Ltd, in advance of a proposed conversion and renovation of an existing outhouse. Planning permission has been granted subject to a programme of archaeological works as the works are considered by the Curator to have the potential to affect heritage assets with archaeological interest (HER ref WSM 16060). A single trench measuring 0.6m wide and c. 20m long was excavated through the backyard of a plot that fronts on to Pershore High Street. Deposits indicative of made ground and garden soils were encountered, dating to the 19th and 20th century. A possible pit of unknown date was tentatively identified cutting through the natural gravels at the base of the excavation, but the scope of the works limited understanding of the feature. The natural ground was only reached at the northern end of the trench, at the back of the plot, so deposits relating to the earlier post-medieval and medieval periods may survive beneath the formation level of these works. Very little in the way of material remains were encountered, though this may just be because no rubbish pits were encountered. The results of this exercise do not conflict with the results of the 2004 watching brief that identified post-medieval remains in the same backyard plot (WSM 33590).
