Abstract:		 An archaeological auger survey was undertaken at Church Hill Middle School (SP 0671 6879; HER WSM00224) was undertaken on behalf of Robin Kalinowski (Senior Building Surveyor) who is acting on behalf of Worcestershire County Council in advance of draining the school's playing fields. Fishponds are rarely excavated, but they were a substantial element in the landscape of medieval Worcestershire. Church Hill Middle School stands in the middle of a fishpond that was approximately 75,000 sqm. The auger survey has provided us with further information about the construction of the fishpond and has revealed an earlier pond on the site. The auger survey also identified that the northern part of the site, although once waterlogged, has dried out considerably. In contrast, the southeast end of the site contains waterlogged material suitable for palaeoenvironmental analysis and radiocarbon dating. The survival of these deposits is threatened by the drainage of the site.
