Abstract:		 The closest monuments to the site are a 19th century orphanage at St Albans (WCM 98174) 70m to the east, and Worcester Castle (WCM 96017, 96018, 96022 etc), at a similar distance to the north-east. Previous archaeological work in the vicinity includes a Bronze Age axe (WCM 100957) and Iron Age coins (WCM 100699) from the River Severn. An evaluation (WCM 100384) was undertaken within the Diglis Hotel grounds, with trenches on the river terrace with sands and gravel at depths of between 0.09m (14.9m AOD) to 2.2m (16.37m AOD; Brown 1990, 3). A further trench was excavated towards the base of the terrace slope and an auger hole indicated a fine sandy loam containing tile and charcoal at 11.15m AOD (3.2m below present ground surface) with further layers (including organic material) extending to the maximum depth of the auger hole (10.60m AOD). Other investigations of a Roman cemetery (WCM 100041, 100379), the medieval castle (WCM 100025 etc), and sites associated with the ceramic industry (WCM 100041, 100375 etc) have also been undertaken, but none within the same riverside location of the present project.
