Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Jacobs Engineering Ltd of geotechnical test pits between the River Severn and Hylton Road, Worcester (centred on NGR: SO 842 550; HER ref. WCM 101649). Alluvium was noted, at a depth of 1.40m to 2.30m below the present ground surface, directly below modern make up and demolition deposits. A single sherd of Roman Severn Valley ware was recovered from the alluvium. The overlying deposits were determined to be of 19th/20th century origin, representing the deliberate dumping of debris associated with the buildings which occupied the southern half of the site from at least the later 18th century until the mid 20th century, along with the raising of the ground level to prevent seasonal flooding. In situ structural remains were identified within three of the Test Pits (106, 108 and 110): brick walls with a sandstone foundation and associated floor of 19th century date; brick walls and a possible floor surface from the later 18th or early 19th century; and a cobble surface. The first two Both are interpreted to be cellars, the second of which lay within the Mughouse Inn, as indicated on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey. The third appears to have formed part of a larger yard, possibly for the Chequer's Inn, denoted on the same map. No significant archaeological remains or artefacts were observed.
