Abstract:		 <summary>The approximate line of the Roman road from Worcester to Gloucester has long been known from field boundaries. An opportunity to establish this archaeologically was presented by the motorway widening. The intention of the evaluation was to check for the presence of settlement or other activity associated with the road, though none was identified. The Roman road was not exactly on the alignment predicted, but lay some [?20m] to the east (centre to centre) of the trackway (Green Lane) which succeeded it. The road appears to have consisted of no more than a pebble surface on a built-up low {italon}agger{italoff} of sandy clay. During a later phase of use, the eastern part of the road was resurfaced and an eastern roadside ditch was filled; the resurfacing was to a lower standard than the original build of the road, with no pebble surface. No finds were recovered from the road construction, from its surfaces, or from excavated features; the construction phases were therefore undatable. A probable medieval trackway lay over the western part of the Roman road, beneath a later trackway; it consisted of a build-up of soil, upon which a thin pebble layer had been spread. {italon}Sec(abr)(21a){italoff} {italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} HWCM1150
