Abstract:		 The installation of a new attenuation tank and associated pipelines is proposed to the rear of the HSBC bank, 53 High Street, Alcester, Warwickshire. Due to the high archaeological sensitivity of the development area, the Warwickshire Museum Field Services' Planning Archaeologist requested a programme of borehole sampling. This was designed to test for the presence of peat and/or other organic deposits, while also characterising any other archaeological or geological deposits present. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to produce a Project Design (Albion Archaeology 2008) in line with the Planning Archaeologist's Brief, and to carry out the borehole survey. The only archaeological remains positively identified by the borehole survey, comprise building floors and foundations, a probable cobbled surface, and garden soil, all of which are post-medieval in date. The clays and gravelly clays underlying the post-medieval remains represent a combination of make-up layers and alluvial deposits, the date of which is uncertain. However, if these clays are Roman in date, then the potential exists for Roman features to have been cut into them, outside the specific locations of the boreholes. The earliest post-glacial deposits comprise a peat deposit and organic silts .
