Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Blackgreves Farmhouse, Headley Heath, Wythall, Worcestershire (NGR SP 0658 7547). It was undertaken on behalf of David Symonds Associates, whose client, Bourneville Village Trust, is having new septic tanks, a reed bed and associated inspection chambers and drainage channels constructed, for which a planning application was granted by Worcestershire County Council. All groundworks relating to the installation of the septic tank and drainage were monitored, with two inspection pits hand excavated by Worcestershire Archaeology. The new drainage trenches followed close to existing service trenches. A causeway or base of a bridge constructed of sandstone ashlar blocks and flagstones was revealed crossing the moat, underlying the modern surfacing of the driveway. No dated material was encountered over the sandstone causeway, with the overlying material relating to modern disturbance from service trenches. The other drainage trenches cut through the disturbed soils and backfill of a number of modern services with material related to the current early 19th century farmhouse. Residual material dating from the medieval period was also found within the later deposits, confirming the occupation of the site since at least the medieval period. Excavations in the field to the west of the site did not reveal any significant archaeological deposits. The natural was found at a shallow depth in this area, except where an undated dump of redeposited gravels and hardcore was observed opposite the moat causeway.
