Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The second and third phases of an archaeological evaluation and historic building recording were carried out at the former Corus Steelworks, Birmingham Road, Oldbury, Sandwell (NGR SO 997 895) in November 2006 and April 2007. Documentary and cartographic evidence suggested that there was potential for the survival of buried remains associated with the medieval Blakeley Mill. A total of nine trial-trenches were excavated, six in the southwest part of the site and three to the northwest. No evidence for features associated with the mill was found. A palaeochannel running roughly east-west was recorded in one trench. Two small gullies of probable post-medieval date were also recorded. A large tree bole - at first tentatively identified as a possible complex of archaeological features - was encountered at the western part of the site. A single sherd of medieval pottery was recovered from a context associated with the tree bole. Undated possible buried soils were identified at the centre of the site. At the extreme western end of the site evidence of a 19th century canal basin associated with the former Broadwell Colliery was uncovered. This had been filled in during the latter part of the 20th century.
