Abstract:		 <summary>A watching brief was undertaken in a lift shaft close to the east end of Worcester Cathedral. Three short visits revealed a series of metalled surfaces c2.2m below the present ground surface. The uppermost was represented by a surface of compacted slag and gravel. Below this was a deposit of soft, pale grey, silty clay loam, with pieces of worn limestone laid flat within it. Another smooth gravel and slag surface was sealed by the soft grey layer c2.45m below the surface. Although no dating material came from any of these deposits, the depth of the metalled surfaces and the use of slag in their makeup indicated that they may well be Roman in construction. Roman roads elsewhere in Worcester have been known to employ varying quantities of slag as metalling. The extent and alignment of the roads could not be established beyond doubt since they only appeared in the south side of the excavated lift shaft, cut by a well to the east, and the cellar wall of 3 College Precincts to the west; however, a broadly east to west alignment is probable. {italon}Sec(abr)(21a){italoff} {italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} HWCM9616
