Abstract:		 An evaluation was undertaken adjacent to Droitwich Barge Lock, Vines Park, Salt Way, Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire, on behalf of Halcrow Group Limited (NGR: SO 90177 63512; HER ref. WSM 39895). A single trench was excavated to the south of Junction Canal, to a depth of 2.25m (c 26.75m AOD) along the projected line of a proposed by-pass pipe. A substantial unconsolidated deposit of ash and clinker was recorded from 1.30m depth (c 27.60m AOD) to the base of the trench, sealed by clay loam soils containing occasional 19th/20th century china and brick rubble. These layers are considered to have been deposited from the mid/late 19th century to in-fill areas of subsidence following brine extraction and to consolidate the area prior to laying out the park in the early part of the 20th century. A single brick wall was recorded, which may relate to the construction of the canal in the mid 19th century. Otherwise no significant archaeological deposits, features, layers or structures were observed, nor artefacts recovered.
