Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Pritchard Construction at 15, Britannia Square, Worcester (NGR SO 84596 55559; HER ref WCM 101854). The excavations of a foundation trench for a new extension revealed a Roman wall. The presence of demolition debris, dating from the 3rd and 4th century, containing material relating to high status buildings overlying this wall suggests that a substantial building was situated here. It would appear that the main building lay to the north, underneath no. 15, as the demolition layer thins out and contains less rubble to the south. It has long been recognised that Britannia Square was the site of an intensive Roman activity that included several stone-founded buildings with tiled roofs, mosaic floors and under floor heating systems. This wall coupled with evidence from excavations in the vicinity, particularly at no. 17, helps to define the extent of this activity.
