Bewdley Lane, Evesham, Worcestershire

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in May 2013 at Bewdley Lane, Evesham, Worcestershire. Twelve trenches were excavated. An undated ditch within Trench 2 may represent one of a series of former east/west-aligned plot boundaries depicted on an 1868 Boundary Commission map of Evesham in this area. A short section of undated wall footing was found in Trench 5. Given that the Evesham Abbey Precinct is located a short distance to the south, it is possible that this section of footings is related. However, because the site lies outside of the northern boundary of the precinct, combined with the limited scope for comparison to walls known to be associated with the Abbey, the wall footing could equally relate to later activity.
