Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Battenhall Mount, Battenhall, Worcester (NGR SO 86000 53610). It was undertaken for CgMs Consulting, on behalf of their client KKE Architects who intends redevelopment of the site, involving demolition of modern structures, conversion, change of use and new buildings to create a care community with communal areas and facilities, for which a planning application has been submitted. Four trenches were excavated. The earliest feature was a small Roman ditch, 1.04m wide and 0.52m deep, which is thought to be a field boundary some distance from Roman settlement. The brick foundations and cellar of a former 19th century house were also excavated, which is identified as 'Fair View' on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1885/6. It appears to have been demolished by 1905 when the gardens of the extant Battenhall Mount were extended to the east. No other significant archaeological features, layers, structures or horizons were revealed, nor artefacts recovered. The overburden, which comprised topsoil and subsoil (or tarmac and clinker over subsoil within the area of the former tennis courts), lay directly over the undisturbed natural clay, at 0.32-0.58m depth below the current ground surface.
