| Abstract: |
The watching brief identified features associated with the post-Civil War development of Worcester. Lower fills of a ditch produced pottery and tile dating to the middle to late 17th century. The fills were waterlogged and had a high preservation of environmental evidence. The sample produced a wide assemblage of cultivated fruits, herbs and spices, and plants used in industrial processes. Archaeological deposits relating to the backfilling of the ditch in the later 18th century were identified. Development of the area in the 19th century was identified by the construction of a culvert in the base of a ditch creating an area either side occupied by brick buildings, some with cellars cut into the ditch.
