Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during excavations for a sewer pipeline. The pipeline was largely created by tunneling, so that little disturbance to archaeological deposits was likely to occur. However, access to the tunnel was essential in certain areas, and a series of manholes and associated works compounds were constructed. An earlier desk-based assessment had identified two particular areas of interest, comprising the site of the post-medieval Holford Mill and the possible route of a Roman road, Ryknild Street. During the watching brief, no evidence relating to either of these potential sites was identified. However, features associated with possible 18th century industrial activity were discovered. These comprised a compact surface of pebbles, a well and two parallel ditches. Artefacts consisted of a sparse collection of pottery dating from the 17th century to the present, as well as large lumps of iron slag and glassy furnace slag associated with the cobbled surface and the fill of one of the ditches. It was concluded that the discovery of previously unknown industrial activity was of interest, and could warrant further documentary research. The fact that no structures had been shown in the area on a map of 1794 suggested that the site had reverted to agricultural use by this time. [AIP]
