Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief to monitor groundworks during construction of a new pumping station at Willsbridge, South Gloucestershire.Post-medieval archaeology was known to exist within the site in the form of the remains of The Dramway; the Avon and Gloucestershire Railway that carried coal from collieries near Yate south to the River Avon. The Dramway was completed in 1835 and was in use until around 1866, and was the last horse-drawn railway in Britain. The remains of the Dramway are known to survive in various places along the line as the stone sleeper blocks, which would have originally taken the track. A section of the Dramway crosses the Site, coming in from the north having crossed the Bath Road. The speculated route of the Dramway crossed directly across the Site entrance, within the footprint of the proposed Site access road. The watching brief identified no evidence of the Dramway. This is likely to be because the ground level was not reduced enough. However, service pipes identified as running north to south, corresponding with the speculated route of the Dramway, suggest that the Dramway's remains were destroyed by the previous pipe trench. No archaeological features were identified nor finds recovered during the watching brief
