The City walls: section S of The Butts, extending 100ft east from Rack Alley is a surviving section of Worcestershire's medieval defensive fortifications. This portion of masonry represents part of the town wall system that protected Worcester during the medieval period, with the walls themselves constructed from stone and built to substantial height and thickness as was typical of urban defences of this era. The section's location along The Butts, a street name indicating its proximity to the outer defences, preserves evidence of Worcester's medieval urban layout and fortification strategy. This registered ancient monument contributes to the archaeological and architectural record of Worcester's development as a defended medieval town.
