Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of the Environment Agency of land between the River Severn and Hylton Road, Worcester (centred on NGR SO 842 550; HER ref WCM 101663). The findings reflect those of the previous investigations, which were determined to be of modern, 20th century, origin and contained material relating to the demolition of the buildings that occupied the southern half of the site from at least the later 18th century to the mid 20th century. The deposits are considered to be deliberate make-up and dump deposits intended to raise the ground level to prevent seasonal flooding. A brick and concrete structure and associated brick floor toward the north end of the site were broadly contemporary and date to the second half of the 20th century. They were located in an area of the site that remained unoccupied and under grass until 1965 when two boathouses are depicted on cartographic sources. Wall remnants within the southern half are likely to relate to the commercial (or industrial) and residential structures that occupied the site from the later 18th century. Alluvial deposits were only partially observed within the trenches, at 0.80-1.10m below the present ground surface, within the northern half and at 1.55m within the southern half, directly below the modern make up and demolition deposits. No significant archaeological features, layers, horizons, structures, or archaeological artefacts were identified during the project. However, the possibility remains that significant archaeological deposits survive in areas of the site not disturbed by the current development.
