Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Gheluvelt Park, Claines, Worcester (NGR SO 843567), on behalf of Plincke Landscapes Ltd for their client Worcester City Council who intend to carry out improvements at Gheluvelt Park for which a planning application has been approved by Worcester City Council. Groundworks were observed in three areas; a proposed water play area, a playground and the footings for a war memorial. In the water play area waterlogged deposits were observed. These represent stream deposits or flood layers associated with the brook or the pond in the post-medieval period. A series of make-up deposits in this area are probably related to the demolition of Barbourne House in the early 20th century (Phear 2007) and a cobbled surface seen in north of this area may be associated with the gardens of Barbourne House. In the eastern part of the site, excavation for the war memorial uncovered a palaeochannel and waterlogged deposits. No finds were recovered from these deposits but it is thought that they date from the early post-medieval period. It is probable that the palaeochannel represents an earlier course of or one of several channels of the Barbourne Brook before it was canalised in the late 19th century. A dump of material above these waterlogged deposits represents consolidation of the area, perhaps when the brook was canalised. No features or layers recorded in the play area predated its construction in the 1960s.
