Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological watching brief was undertaken along the route of the rural trunk water pipeline between Hollywaste covered reservoir and Trimpley reservoir (NGR SO 77210 78945-SO 64568 75792), through parts of south Shropshire and north Worcestershire. It was undertaken on behalf of Severn Trent Water and in liaison with Entec UK Ltd. The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological remains were present, and if so, to excavate and record them so as to indicate their location, date and nature prior to the installation of the pipeline. Across most of the pipeline route very few archaeological remains were identified other than occasional remains related to post-medieval and modern farming. Frequent archaeological remains were however identified as the pipeline crossed through a Roman fort at Wall Town. These included the defensive ditches in the southwest corner of the fort and numerous sandstone wall foundations and floors within the interior of the fort. Two previously unidentified defensive ditches on the south side of the fort confirm that the original 1st century fort extended further south than the 2nd century layout. Internally, however, only one partial sandstone floor was recorded that belonged to the earlier fort. As the fort was remodelled the earlier defensive ditches were purposefully backfilled and a more substantial defensive arrangement was adopted. This included the construction of a stone-faced rampart across the southern side of the fort. The remains of a possible stone gateway were also discovered on the eastern side of the fort. Internally the majority of the walls belonging to the later fort were found within the southwestern quadrant and were aligned approximately north-south.
