Abstract:		 In October 2005, the Worcestershire Historic Environment and Archaeology Service undertook a desk-based assessment of several features of the canal basins at Stourport, Worcestershire (NGR SO 8100 7100; WSM 34491). The assessment was commissioned by British Waterways and was intended to establish the basis for a field evaluation. It was based on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, including records held by Worcestershire County Council, British Waterways, and the National Monuments Record. It was also informed by a draft Conservation Plan, and by a visit to the site itself. The assessment begins by discussing the development of the canal basins from the 18th century to the present. It then focuses on four areas earmarked for field evaluation, namely the Tontine gardens, the site of a tollhouse to the west, a coal tunnel between the lower basin and the quay, and the former Engine House. The development of each area is traced in detail and an attempt is made to predict the likely character and date of buried deposits. The potential contribution of the evaluation to current research frameworks is also considered. The assessment ends by suggesting several alternative sites for evaluation, and by outlining the proposed fieldwork strategy.
