Abstract:		 In February 2003 Archenfield Archaeology conducted an archaeological evaluation of the former Brooklyn Ford Car dealership, Bath Road, Worcester on behalf of Neil Grinnall Homes and Spa Housing Association. A geoarchaeological study of cores taken from a borehole situated close to the line of Birmingham to Worcester Canal showed that the deposits consisted of an accumulation of alluvium overlying bedrock and overlain by a greater depth of made-ground. The lower levels were shown to have formed in waterlogged conditions, and samples may contain valuable pollen and plant remains that relate to the former course of the Frog Brook. Archaeological trial trenching showed that the site has been very disturbed by 19th and 20th century construction and demolition. Deep accumulations of made ground and a build up of layers of industrial dumping and the presence of back filled cellars were recorded. No evidence of occupation observed on either side of Bath Road was earlier than the later post medieval period.
