Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by GL Hearn Limited on behalf of Tesco Stores Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation of land proposed for mixed commercial and light industrial development at Grove Farm, Worcester (the Site, centred on NGR 382200 254300). A total of 38 evaluation trenches, representing a 3% sample of the area available for evaluation, was excavated in the southern two thirds of the proposed development area, in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) submitted to and approved by the Archaeological Officer for Worcester City Council. The northern third of the Site was unavailable for evaluation as it is currently under a conifer plantation. The evaluation was monitored by the City Archaeological Officer. The evaluation located no evidence for either human habitation of the land or for previous human interaction with the land, other than that associated with post medieval agricultural practices. The only features encountered comprised tree holes and modern postholes relating to the recent use of the Site as orchards. Throughout the evaluation, including the scanning of the spoil heaps, no artefacts predating the post-medieval period were retrieved from the Site. The evaluation has confirmed the conclusion of the geophysical survey that there are no archaeological features present within the area evaluated. Based upon the results of the evaluation trenches, the geophysical survey and the desk based assessment, the potential for uncovering archaeological remains within the as yet unevaluated plantation area of the Site may be regarded as low.
