Abstract:		 An archaeological borehole assessment was undertaken at The Serpentine Ground (National Grid Reference SP 0825 9002). It was commissioned by Birmingham City Council (the Client). The proposed development site is considered to have the potential to affect undated deposits associated with a former course of the River Tame (MBM 2918). Seven boreholes were sunk to a maximum depth of 5.73m below ground surface with no archaeological remains or natural deposits being encountered. The site is a man-made oxbow lake of the River Tame created when the river was truncated by the construction of the Grand Junction Railway. The oxbow was extant in the grounds of Aston Hall until the late 19th/ early 20th century but was then extensively backfilled with industrial waste, presumably to make the land usable. Cartographic evidence demonstrates that backfilling was completed by 1916.
