Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd on behalf of Bellway Homes , to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Hanbury Road, Droitwich, Worcestershire. The DBA concluded that the Site had a moderate potential to contain remains of Roman to post-medieval date, although that potential has been greatly reduced by the construction of the Droitwich Junction Canal that was built in 1852. However, some remains relating to the canal had potential to be of archaeological interest in their own right. The archaeological remains recorded during the work at Hanbury Road largely related to the mid-19th century Droitwich Junction Canal. This structure was evidenced by the two red brick walls, which ran east to west across the length of the Site. The canal was backfilled in 1931, and this episode of backfilling was also identified. In the northern extent of the Site the possible remains of a mill pond were recorded but, again, excavation was ceased before a full interpretation was able to be made. Modern material, such as plastic cut-offs, found in the pond demonstrate that although the feature may have been open for some time it was backfilled in relatively recent years. No archaeological remains dating to before the 19th century were exposed during the work at Hanbury Road, and it is highly likely that if there were remains from earlier periods they were destroyed during the construction of the Droitwich Junction Canal.
