Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Redhill Reservoir, Telford (NGR SJ 7261 1097) for MMB on behalf of Severn Trent Water. MMB (on behalf of Severn Trent Water) intend to construct nitrate improvement structures and associated pipework on the site and will be submitting a planning application to Telford and Wrekin Council. This report on an archaeological evaluation describes and assesses the significance of a heritage asset with archaeological interest potentially affected by the application. The impactof the application on the significance is assessed. The site lies immediately north of the A5, formally Roman Watling Street and to the south of a Roman military camp/signal station partially excavated in the 1970s during the constructionof the reservoir. The evaluation has identified significant Roman settlement remains dating from the 1st to 3rd centuries AD. The remains mostly comprise boundary ditches, pits and postholes. Beam slots and frequent fired wattle/daub remains suggest that wooden buildings were present on the site although no floors or surfaces were identified as being associated with them. More substantial buildings may also be present as a large robbed-out sandstone wall foundation was excavated and a single Roman tegula (roof tile) was recovered. Two possible oven/furnace bases were also identified in association with metal-working debris indicating that industrial activities may also have been undertaken on site. Significant quantities of exotic and high status pottery and metal-working finds were also recovered from the site. There was no evidence that the nearby military enclosures extended into this part of the site or that Roman Watling Street ran through the evaluated area.
