Abstract:		 An archaeological borehole survey was undertaken at Warwickshire County Cricket Ground, Edgbaston Road, Birmingham (NGR SP 0677 8434). The borehole survey and subsequent environmental assessment were undertaken on behalf of Mansell Construction Services Ltd in response to proposed development including intrusive ground works with the potential to disturb palaeoenvironmental remains of unknown date. No significant remains of archaeological, palaeoenvironmental or geoarchaeological significance were identified during the fieldwork, or the subsequent assessment, due to the extensive disturbance and truncation of post-medieval and/or modern activity. This disturbance can most likely be assigned to the diversion of the River Rea associated with the development of the cricket ground between 1889 and 1904, and the assessment tentatively indicates that large quantities of made ground and overburden were deposited with the desire to backfill channels, level undulations and raise the pitch and its surroundings above the water-table and groundwater flow.
