Abstract:		 Due to onsite ecological constraints, the programme of archaeological work was undertaken in two phases. The Phase 1 works comprised the excavation of 11 evaluation trenches, each measuring 30m in length by 1.8m in width, and the subsequent monitoring of the machine reduction of an area of c. 900m2. The Phase 2 works comprised the excavation of a further five evaluation trenches. During the course of the evaluation the position of the trenches was adjusted to avoid buried services and extant modern structures where possible. In May and August 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out a programme of archaeological work on land at Severn Road, Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire. A total of 15 evaluation trenches were excavated and three areas of groundworks were archaeologically monitored. A probable Roman pit was identified in a trench excavated in the south-western part of site, with its location corresponding to a probable gravel island deposited by riverine action. Structural remains, correlating with boundary walls and buildings relating to a late 19th to early 20th-century carpet works, as depicted on historic mapping were recorded across the site. A reinforced concrete basement and a 600mm narrow gauge hand cart rail system, recorded in the centre of the site, are considered likely to be associated with the use of site as a munitions factory during the Second World War. A post-medieval/modern animal burial was identified in the southern extent of the site, and late 20th-century structural remains, likely relating to the post-War expansion of the carpet works and its subsequent demolition in the early 21st century, were also recorded.
