Abstract:		 <summary>A watching brief/salvage recording was carried out on the route of the Blackstone to Astley section of Severn Trent Water's "Worcester Aqueduct" during 1991. The area was poorly known archaeologically prior to this work, and the recording exercise provided an opportunity to assess the accuracy of the impression that there was little early activity. Several new sites were revealed, including flint finds and scatters of Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age date. Two sites of greater importance were excavated: at Dunley Road, Areley Kings (HWCM1136), the padstone foundations of a substantial building, along with a ditch and other features, probably represented a Roman farm building some distance from a settlement; at Longmore Hill Farm, Astley (HWCM11093), an isolated pit contained a large assemblage of Beaker pottery, and other finds, which was interpreted as a domestic waste assemblage. A further important discovery, on the flood-plain on the west side of the Severn near Lickhill, Stourport (HWCM11078), was a palaeochannel of the river which produced pieces of timber subsequently dated by dendrochronology to the third millennium BC. The generally low concentrations of finds and in particular buried features elsewhere on the route could be attributed in part to the destructive effects of modern agriculture on an area with very thin topsoil cover. {italon}Au{italoff} {italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} HWCM1136, 11078, 11093
