Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during geotechnical groundworks associated with the development of premises for the British Postal Museum Archive at the Former Chain Test Works, Great Western Railway Engineering Works, Swindon, Wiltshire. On removal of the existing tarmac and concrete floors within the buildings, two test pits revealed cast iron pipes associated with the former engineering works, while excavation of another test pit revealed an earlier brick-built floor. The three external test pits contained no significant archaeological features or deposits. No artefactual material was recovered.
