Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Border Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Amey on behalf of Severn Trent Water to undertake a programme of archaeological observation during engineering groundworks for a Sewage Pumping Station (SPS) adjacent to the existing SPS north of the village of Uffington Shropshire (NGR: SJ 52830 14064). The scheme comprised demolition of the existing control building structure and construction of a new template pumping station, including wet wall, inlet chamber, valve chamber and flowmeter chamber and new site access. The area was formerly rough grassland used as pasture. The deposits encountered appeared chiefly to be associated with modern re-landscaping of the area. The southern edge of the site was bounded by the former Shrewsbury Canal and, whilst the cut of the canal bed was not revealed during the groundworks as it lies further to the south, beyond the limit of excavation, frequent building debris, farmyard waste and domestic rubbish was encountered in the topsoil and subsoil, predominately concentrated along the southern and eastern edge of the site, correlating with the canal alignment. These inclusions are interpreted as evidence of 20th -century in-filling of the disused canal, together with localised dumping of material. No significant archaeological deposits, features or finds were encountered.
