Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Severn Trent Plc. at Saltway, Droitwich Spa, Worcester (NGR: SO 90082 63465 to 90212 63424; WSM 32985). The project involved the observation of trenching for a new sewer within the Scheduled Ancient Monument. Gravel, probably natural, was only identified at one point toward the western end of the site, at c 27.05m AOD. It was directly overlain by 18th/19th century industrial dump deposits related to the adjacent salt works and spoil heaps. A number of brick structures were identified, all were of brick and were determined to be of late 18th/19th century date, although they could not be related directly to structures indicated on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. A number of hollowed-timber brine pipes were identified at either end of the groundworks. They were determined to be of post-medieval/19th century date. No earlier archaeological features, deposits or artefacts were recorded predating the 18th/19th century.
