Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Alice Ottley School, Upper Tything, Worcester (NGR ref. SO 8478 5574; HER ref. WCM 101213). Two trenches were excavated toward the north-west corner of the school grounds. No features, horizons or structures predating the post-medieval period were identified. A single residual Roman sherd and a medieval ridge tile were recovered in association with post-medieval and modern material. A small number of post-medieval and modern features and layers were observed. Dump deposits containing building debris lay directly over the natural matrix of river terrace sand and gravel, indicating that earlier horizons had been scoured off prior to their deposition. They are considered to be associated with construction and development of the site from the mid 18th century. A ENE/WSW ditch was recorded, on the south-east side of the site. It may represent the southern boundary of the medieval White Ladies Priory which lay to the north, although it had clearly been scoured out and repeatedly recut before it was finally backfilled in the mid 19th century.
