Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of the Environment Agency at the former Fruit and Vegetable Market, Hylton Road, Worcester (NGR: SO 8425 5500; HER ref. WCM 101672). Five test pits were observed. Waterlogged alluvial material was identified to the north and south sides of the site, at c 3m and c 1.50m depth respectively. Otherwise brick structures and rubble deposits of 19th century and later date were recorded. No other significant archaeological layers features or structures were observed, nor were the concrete WWII blocks (WCM 92171) previously identified. A small assemblage of Roman iron slag was recovered from the alluvium to the north. It is unclear if this represents in-situ industrial activity, is a deliberate dump of waste from iron smelting elsewhere in the vicinity, or is simply residual within the alluvium. No other artefacts pre-dating the modern period were recovered.
