Abstract:		 A controlled archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Parkside Middle School, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire (NGR SO 96095 71142; HER ref WSM 55827). It was commissioned by Property Services, Worcestershire County Council in advance of the construction of an extension to the existing building for which a planning application has been approved by Bromsgrove District Council. The excavations for the footprint of the new building to the south-west of the extant main school building were observed, to a maximum depth of 1.40m. No significant archaeological deposits, structures, layers or features were identified, nor artefacts recovered. The natural sand was only observed within a small portion of the centre of the trench, where it was directly overlain by made ground containing modern debris. An undisturbed soil profile was not identified. It is considered that the area has been heavily landscaped, possibly during construction of the health centre adjacent. Within the centre of the trench this involved excavation into the natural sand, which would have removed any archaeological deposits, if any were present. Although only a small area of natural was exposed, it is considered that there is a low likelihood for the existence of significant archaeological deposits elsewhere on the site. The site formed one of a number of agricultural fields, and was not developed during the expansion of Bromsgrove in the 18th-19th centuries, until the construction of the school in 1912.
