Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Between 2002 and 2005, the Worcestershire Archaeology Service undertook a programme of archaeological work at Mill Farm, Radford Road, Alvechurch (centred on NGR SP 0266 7309; HER ref WSM 34490). The project was undertaken for Persimmon Homes Ltd in connection with a residential development. The aims of the project were to produce a photographic record of the site before development, to record archaeological remains exposed during groundworks, and to excavate several trenches across a tail race shown on 18th to 20th century maps. The tail race belonged to a mill that was housed in a building to the north of the site. The mill is known to have operated from c1647 to the early 1940s, and was thought to have replaced a medieval mill on the same site or nearby. The photographic survey recorded a mixture of 19th century farm buildings and 20th century prefabricated sheds. The watching brief provided limited information on these buildings and on earlier deposits. The trenches across the line of the mapped tail race showed the truncated remains of a channel lined with sandstone walls. Artefacts associated with this feature suggested a 19th century date of construction. No evidence was found of the original tail race or the documented medieval mill. From this, it appears that the original tail race was entirely replaced in the 19th century, and that the medieval mill stood on the same site as the later one to the north of the site.
